Cal should have been seeded a tad higher.

Had to laugh about those who thought she was looking elsewhere… Missouri might be home, but no way was she heading there. 😉 Go Bears! 💙💛🏀🐻

Cal Women's Basketball : Cal Sets Program Record For Home Wins Against Miami Onyiah Posts Double-Double With Career-High 26 Points

💙 Michelle Onyiah, one of the great senior day performances I’ve ever seen

Bears take senior day in style 82-63 over Miami. Michelle Onyiah with a career high 26 points and her 10th double double of the season. #CalBears #NCAAW #Cal 💙💛🏀🔥

@mingemi.bsky.social Wasn’t it her 9th double double, not first??? www.sfchronicle.com/sports/colle...

I've gotta use my Monday column to talk about Michelle Onyiah, who had four opportunities to leave Cal basketball when it would have been very easy to do so, and decided to stay and be special in Berkeley.

A huge win over Georgia Tech to arrest a multi-week slide for Cal WBB . . . though I'm afraid that the only way Cal can escape the dreaded 8/9 NCAA seed now is by beating, gulp, likely #2 seed Notre Dame in the ACC tournament.

Cal Women’s Basketball is legit. They just had a very dominant performance over Georgia Tech. All of our starters were on their games tonight. They clearly look better than their projected 9 Seed for the NCAA Tournament. They will be very competitive if they keep playing like they did tonight.

Ugh.

Thanks for covering this.

The Trump DOE/OCR has continued to work hard on excluding transgender women and girls in sports, now targeting the CIF and fixating on a girls basketball game this weekend. The CIF, like SJSU, is being investigated for allowing participation | @sfchronicle.com

Cal Women’s Basketball is legit. They got a first round bye in the ACC Tournament with their win tonight against UVA. Don’t sleep on Cal WBB. I am not a hater on UVA, but they didn’t admit me into their masters program but Cal did. Thus, this one was a feel good win for me tonight.

The world is a mess. Here’s the unexpected thing keeping me sane At a time when anxiety may be at an all time high, youth sports coaching is the near the top of the list of things keeping me sane.

Coaching kids is a wonderful thing 🏀💙 www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

How Charmin Smith is leading Cal women’s basketball out of Stanford’s shadow Coach Charmin Smith, a Stanford alum, has spent the past six years crafting Cal women’s basketball in her image. After rough times, it’s finally come to life.

“It doesn’t happen overnight at Cal."

Charmin Smith thought she'd be an engineer and build things. It turns out, roster-building might be her forte | @sfchronicle.com

If Dept of Ed eliminated there would be no agency to enforce/oversee compliance.

Female athletes and fans of girls and women in sports should be highly concerned if Dept. of Ed goes, so does Title IX? #NCAAW
