From 2005-06 to 2018-19, Cal appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 11 of 14 seasons, advancing to the Final Four in 2013 in the best season in program history. It’s been six years since they’ve been back, and never under Smith, who isn’t letting herself get too far ahead.

With March Madness upon us, here are blank brackets for the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments; Selection Sunday is March 16. The men’s selection show is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on CBS; the women’s selection show will air at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
