Editor’s note: With several sports going on, Wildcat Wrap serves as a recap that focuses on the Arizona programs that we do not have the time to cover on a regular basis but are certainly worthy of recognition. For a fifth straight season, the Arizona men’s tennis program has won a conference championship. The No. […]
The only way Arizona is can make the NCAA Tournament is by winning the Big 12’s automatic bid, but that also requires the Wildcats qualifying for the conference tournament.

With Wednesday marking the start of five games in a 6-day span, Arizona’s already overworked pitching staff is going to be pushed to the limit.

Arizona’s 2028 recruiting class is back to a single commit. Three days after earning a pledge from 3-star offensive lineman Karmello Calloway, 3-star California edge rusher Simote Tupou announced he was reopening his recruitment.

The human voters in the four top 25 polls were impressed by the Arizona Wildcats’ 2-1 record at Iowa State last week. The computers were less so. Arizona now hovers just outside the top 10 in the polls published by the NFCA (12), USA Softball (11), D1 Softball (12), and Softball America (12). It improved […]
With Treydan Stukes, Dalton Johnson and Genesis Smith NFL-bound, Arizona now needs to find the replacements for the trio.

While […]
It was a tremendous 2025-26 season for Arizona, which won a school-record 36 games while claiming Big 12 regular season and conference tournament titles and reaching the Final Four for the first time since 2001.

It was a heck of a 2025-26 season, with Arizona returning to the Final Four for the first time in 25 years. But thanks to the current setup in college basketball, each year brings with it a very different team for the Wildcats and almost every school in Division I thanks to graduation, the NBA […]
No. 14 Arizona softball hadn’t lost a game since Friday, Mar. 20 when the Arizona State Sun Devils took the opening game of their three-games series.

INDIANAPOLIS—When Lute Olson made his first Final Four with Arizona in 1988, in his fifth season at the school, it was another six years before he’d make it back. In between were annual NCAA Tournament appearances but never beyond the Sweet 16, and twice in a row his Wildcats were bounced in the first round. […]

INDIANAPOLIS—Though it didn’t end the way it wanted, what Arizona accomplished during the 2025-26 season should be celebrated, particularly the job Tommy Lloyd did.

Arizona’s only scheduled game this season on linear television just happened to coincide with the men’s basketball team playing in its first Final Four in 25 years, which likely meant very few fans ended up tuning in (or showing up in person). That may have ended up being a blessed in disguise. Rival ASU scored […]
INDIANAPOLIS—Arizona’s first trip to the Final Four in 25 years didn’t go well, its 18-point loss to Michigan tied for the second-worst by a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. It was also the 10th time a team has lost by at least that many points in the Final Four over the last 40 […]

INDIANAPOLIS—The way the 2025-26 season played out, it was inevitable that Arizona and Michigan would end up facing each other. That it’s not for the national title is the only surprising part.
