Cal basketball picked to finish 4th in the Pac-12

Pac-12 Men’s Basketball Media Day was held on Friday in San Francisco. Cal basketball came in fourth overall. It’s fitting enough, since the Bears finished fourth in the Pac-12 last season.

Cal will be returning Ivan Rabb, one of the early contenders for the best college basketball player in the nation, along with shooters Jabari Bird and Stephen Domingo, point guards Sam Singer and Brandon Chauca, forward Roger Moute and big men Kameron Rooks and Kingsley Okoroh. The Bears are bringing in transfer Grant Mullins and guards Charlie Moore and Don Coleman to offset the losses of Jordan Mathews, Jaylen Brown and Tyrone Wallace.
