The first game of a preconference softball tournament can sometimes be a good opportunity to get players confident as they move into the weekend. Arizona’s 8-0 win over Eastern Illinois was one of those chances for freshman pitcher Rylie Holder. She came up big. Holder took a no-hitter into the fifth inning of a game […]
Several former Wildcats are getting prepared to take part in the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine mainly coming from the Arizona secondary from this past season. Defensive backs Treydan Stukes, Dalton Johnson, and Genesis Smith met with the media Thursday before their on-field workout session Friday. The on-field workouts are a big factor on whether or […]
The Arizona Wildcats will finish their preconference slate this weekend at the Hillenbrand Invitational before a short week leading into the Big 12 opener against BYU. The group of teams coming to Hillenbrand Stadium isn’t as stacked as the opening weekend or last week’s road trip to the DeMarini Invitational. It will give UA a […]
A year ago, Arizona began its season in a tournament against top-tier competition and came away winless. But by the time the Wildcats went to a second tourney they had figured things out and ended up beating a pair of ranked SEC schools, including the preseason No. 1 team, during a 17-1 run that laid […]
The head coach’s radio show is a good time to get to know the program’s leader, players, staff, and other fans. It’s also a good time to get bits of information that may not be common knowledge. Arizona women’s basketball head coach Becky Burke let listeners and attendees in on some of that during her […]
It won’t just be new signage that Arizona fans notice this fall inside Casino Del Sol Stadium. The school has announced a series of stadium upgrades for the 2026 season, most notably a new sound system and modernizing of the video boards that were installed in 2010. There is also a change to where the […]
The pollsters weren’t quite sure what to make of Arizona softball last week. Both of the major coaches polls moved the Wildcats up while the two media polls dropped them. The NFCA and USA Softball have UA at No. 14 after a 3-2 weekend in the Bay Area and a midweek home victory over Nevada. […]
The Arizona men’s basketball team is known to stack its schedule with tough opponents with big media opportunities. Arizona women’s basketball didn’t do that this season, but that’s about to change. Both teams will travel to Las Vegas for the Hall of Fame Series Opening Night. The women will kick off on Monday, Nov. 2 […]
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.

The Arizona Wildcats seem to have one quarter of extreme struggle in every game. It was the second quarter on Tuesday night, but they found a way to bring their fans to their feet and send their seniors out on a high note with a 75-67 win over the Houston Cougars. It was a long, […]
For the first time this season, Arizona stayed on the road in between games. Yet despite getting more than two full days’ of rest following its win at Houston, the Wildcats spent much of Tuesday night looking like a team on the second half of an NBA back-to-back with a flight in between. It wasn’t […]

A lot was accomplished on Saturday, when Arizona went to Houston and beat the two-time defending Big 12 regular season champions on their own court. The win helped the Wildcats (25-2, 12-2) take over sole possession of first place in the Big 12, with effectively a 2-game lead on the field with four to go. […]
The cancellation of Iowa State’s gymnastics’ remaining meets had a huge impact on the Cyclones’ athletes, staff, and alumnae. It also had a huge impact far away from Ames, Iowa in places like Tucson. The Arizona GymCats were deprived of a crucial road meet by the cancellation. That has been addressed with the help of […]
The best week of Anthony Dell’Orso’s Arizona career has produced some much-deserved attention from the conference. Dell’Orso was named to the Big 12’s weekly ‘Starting Five’ list after back-to-back monster performances off the bench for the Wildcats. The 6-foot-6 senior guard scored 22 points in wins over BYU and at Houston, setting and tying his […]
Arizona men’s basketball’s wins over BYU and Houston last week have the Wildcats in pole position for a number one seed, but they weren’t quite enough to move the UA back to the top of Associated Press poll. Arizona is ranked No. 2 in this week’s AP top 25, behind No. 1 Duke. Arizona received […]
On Saturday night, Arizona finally broke through into the win column. A win streak will have to wait for next weekend. The Wildcats lost 11-2 to UConn on Sunday afternoon at Hi Corbett Field, losing three of four to the Huskies to drop to 1-7 on the season. It is the worst start in school […]
The old adage is that pitching wins. For the No. 3 Texas Longhorns, the pitching doesn’t jump out as especially elite according to stats. It’s certainly effective enough to back up the strong UT offense, though. That offense dominated No. 15 Arizona softball 12-2 in five innings on Sunday morning at the DeMarini Invitational in […]
The University of Arizona has sponsored gymnastics for 50 years as of this season. On Saturday afternoon, the program honored its alumnae from five decades as it defeated West Virginia 196.625 to 194.650 at McKale Center. The team was led by all-around performances by Abigayle Martin and Sophie Derr. There were a number of strong […]
You never forget your first, especially when it takes this long to get it. Arizona finally broke into the win column on Saturday night, rallying to beat UConn 5-4 at Hi Corbett Field to earn its first victory of 2026 after six losses. “Finally we got one, and hopefully it just snowballs forward,” said catcher […]
The Arizona Wildcats continue to battle both their opponents and themselves. That battle played into a hard-fought 74-60 loss to No. 14 Baylor women’s basketball in Waco, Tex. on Saturday night. “I was really, really happy with that 40 minutes and what they showed and who they were throughout that game,” said Arizona head coach […]
By beating Houston on its home court, something only one other Big 12 school had done in three seasons, Arizona is firmly in control of the race for the conference regular season title. The Wildcats are a game up in the standings with four to go and hold the tiebreaker over the Cougars. “We’ve put […]
