#9 California

by Peter Bard

National Championships: 1

Head Coach: Pete Newell

Nickname: Golden Bears

KJ and JK provide one of the more dynamic backcourts in this tournament, and with a dominant wing in Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Cal looks poised to make some noise (kind of rhymes). The frontcourt is lackluster, though Imhoff was an All-American in 1960. He’s flanked by the bruising Sean Marks, whom I expect to foul out quickly.
