Cal has opportunity at Wake before sticking around for ACC tourney

Cal can't afford to let Saturday's opportunity slip away.

The Golden Bears have work to do when they visit Wake Forest for the regular-season finale in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Cal (21-9, 9-8 Atlantic Coast Conference) has won four of its last five games as it tries to remain in the NCAA Tournament conversation. The Bears, who are tied for eighth place in the ACC, are one victory away from their most regular-season victories since the 2015-16 season. Not coincidentally, that was the last time Cal made the NCAA Tournament.
