Bay Area college basketball: Local teams have work to do if March Madness awaits in 2024

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:24:21 GMT

Nearly two months into the college basketball season and with conference play about to get started, NCAA tournament projections for Bay Area men’s teams are sketchy at best.Unless things change dramatically or someone emerges to earn an automatic bid by winning their conference tournament, the local teams could be shut out of the 68-team NCAA field for the first time since 2021.USF and Saint Mary’s are best positioned to perhaps land at-large bids, based on their current NET computer rankings. They begin play a week from now in the West Coast Conference, where No. 13 Gonzaga (9-3) looks like the favorite but is nowhere near as formidable as in recent seasons.Saint Mary’s has most consistently carried the Bay Area banner in recent years, securing NCAA berths the past two seasons and in four of the past six tournaments. USF ended a 24-year drought with a bid in 2022, but Cal hasn’t been since Jaylen Brown’s lone season in 2016 and Stanford’s wait is a year longer.San Jose State most r...

(BCN) -- California workers will be guaranteed five paid sick days a year starting Jan. 1, up from the three days that employers are currently required to provide, thanks to Senate Bill 616. The bill, authored by Long Beach Democratic Sen. Lena Gonzalez, also extends protections against retaliation to workers who are in a union, but excludes provisions that would have granted railroad employees access to unpaid sick leave.It was a significant, but partial victory for proponents, including advocacy groups for families and women and dozens of unions.
