| California |
| 1998-99 record |
| 22-11 overall, 8-10 Pac-10 (won NIT championship)
|
| Coach |
| Ben Braun, 57-35 (3 years at California); 390-270 overall |
| Projected starting lineup |
G Donte Smith, 6-2, Fr.
Washington D.C. prep player of the year, averaging 28.3 points and 6.2 assists at Anacostia High.
G Brian Wethers, 6-5, Fr.
Cal's highest-ranked recruit can knock 'em down from long range.
C Shahar Gordon, 6-10, Fr.

F Sean Lampley, 6-7, Sr.
Only returning starter, averaged 12.4 points last year; most talented Bear.
F Nick Vander Laan, 6-10, Fr.
Overcoming mononucleosis, he's considered one of Cal's toughest players by Braun.
|
| Top guy off the bench |
Raymond "Circus" King, 5-10, Sr.
Backup point guard is flamboyant player who takes care of the ball.
|
| Key Newcomer |
Joe Shipp, 6-5, Los Angeles.
Braun likes this new player, who can drive and score from perimeter.
|
| Key Games |
| vs. Gonzaga (Dec. 21). First round of Pete Newell Challenge finds the Bears against last year's NCAA darling. Stanford or Mississippi State awaits Cal the next day.
|
| Outlook |
|
Everything's new, from the roster to the homecourt, Haas Pavilion replacing Harmon Gym. Braun loves the Haas atmosphere, but with so many freshmen and unproven players, a return to the NIT isn't likely.
