Cal, Saint Joseph's (PA) meet in NIT

Saint Joseph's visits California in Berkeley on Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT for a second-round NIT game, after Cal's first postseason win since 2014.
Saint Joseph's arrived at the NIT after a 23-11 season and a third-place A-10 finish, while Cal is 22-11 with a 13-1 non-conference record, creating contrasting styles.
Cal went 15-for-28, and Saint Joseph's defends the perimeter at 31.4 and averages 35.9 rebounds, giving each a matchup edge.
If Cal wins Sunday, the Bears will play a quarterfinal on Tuesday or Wednesday against the New Mexico–George Washington winner, with the site depending on the opponent.
Beyond the game, the matchup matters for program momentum as Cal would match a 2015-16 high in wins with its 23rd, and coach Steve Donahue was named 2025-26 A-10 Coach of the Year.
