A proposed nonconference tournament is in the works for the 2027-28 men’s college basketball season featuring eight of the sport’s top programs including Arizona. CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander reported Wednesday that an 8-team pool play tournament called the ‘Diamond Cup’ is in the later planning stages. The tournament would feature Arizona, Connecticut, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky, […]
Last summer Tommy Lloyd had never made a Final Four, Chip Hale was coming off a trip to the College World Series, Brent Brennan was an embattled football coach, Caitlin Lowe’s team had fallen in the regional after a very successful debut season in the Big 12 and Becky Burke was trying to assemble a […]
What better way to celebrate 520 Day than to lock up a trip to nationals in your own area code? Arizona completed a dominant run through the Marana Regional, clearing the field by 14 strokes at The Gallery Golf Club and finishing the 3-day event at 49-under par. The Wildcats posted the second-lowest tournament score […]
Koa Peat has a week to decide whether to remain in the 2026 NBA Draft or return to Arizona for his sophomore season. While the Wildcats would love to have him back for 2026-27, they’ve also put together a roster for 2026-27 with the assumption he’s not coming back. There is still a spot left […]
For the past year or more, Koa Peat’s status as a future NBA Draft first round pick was a foregone conclusion. After Peat’s lackluster showing at last week’s NBA Draft Combine, that assumption is being put to the test. The Arizona forward has slipped in three post-combine mock drafts, putting to question whether Peat should […]
The Gallery Golf Club in Marana is not Arizona’s home course, but the Wildcats are treating it like one they play on every day. The UA shot a school-record 24-under-par in the second round of the NCAA Regionals on Tuesday, all but locking up a spot in the NCAA Championships with one round to go. […]
It was a very bad season for Arizona, arguably the worst in more than 30 years, but it wasn’t without its individual standouts. Just not as many as a team that had a good year would receive. Wildcats Garrett Hicks, Tony Lira and Nate Novitske were recognized by the Big 12 on Tuesday on its […]
It says a lot about the Arizona Wildcats softball program that getting to regional finals is enough for fans to want several coaches fired. That’s what comes with being an eight-time national champion, even if the last title was 19 years ago. “Pressure is a privilege,” as retired head coach Mike Candrea regularly reminded both […]
Game one of the NBA Western Conference finals is in the books and it was an instant classic. The San Antonio Spurs stole game one against the Oklahoma City Thunder, in double overtime, 122-115 behind a 41-point, 24-rebound performance from Victor Wembanyama. OWembanyama’s performance will forever be talked about but what will be overlooked is […]
Since Tommy Lloyd was hired at Arizona, his rosters have included at least one player from Lithuania each season. That makes the European country the perfect place for the Wildcats to visit this summer, and play a few games along the way. The UA has announced its USA College Lithuania Tour, which will take it […]
When Arizona’s run to the College World Series came to an end last June, it was known at that point that the ensuing season was going to result in some regression. After all the Wildcats were about to see nine players get drafted and another two 4-year starters graduate. But no one could have predicted […]
On the heels of one of the worst seasons in school history, Arizona has already begun to make changes for 2027. Kendall Rogers of D1Baseball is reporting that hitting coach Toby DeMello will not return to the UA, ending his tenure after five seasons. It is technically the third coaching change Chip Hale had had […]
The Arizona Wildcats needed to win one game on Sunday to advance to regionals. They couldn’t do it. Next time someone says that balls fly out of Hillenbrand because of the “desert air,” point to the home runs in more humid, low-lying areas around the country. Like Durham, NC, where one Duke home run after […]
Arizona men’s and women’s track and field both took home podium finishes at the Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships this weekend, giving the program its best conference championship showing in more than a dozen years. The Arizona men placed runner-up to Texas Tech, while the women took third, finishing behind Texas Tech and […]
The Arizona Wildcats have been successful on the road in recent NCAA postseasons, but they didn’t show much evidence this season that they could rise to the occasion against the best competition away from Hillenbrand. They went 4-9 against RPI top 25 teams in road and neutral games. The postseason magic returned in Durham, NC […]
One of the worst seasons in school history is mercifully over. Arizona lost 7-5 at Oklahoma State on Saturday afternoon, dropping the final two games of the series after winning the opener. It will not be able to defend its Big 12 Conference Tournament title, finishing 13th out of 14 teams and missing next week’s […]
In addition to being a gracious host of the Big 12 Track and Field Championships for the first time, Arizona is making sure to keep a fair amount of the medals for its troubles. The Wildcats won three more individual titles during the second day of competition Friday at Roy P. Drachman Stadium, giving them […]
Arizona men’s basketball has landed another big man out of the NCAA transfer portal. Idaho State transfer Evan Otten, a 6-foot-11, 240 lb. center with two remaining years of eligibility, has signed with Arizona, the program announced Friday evening. Otten averaged 4.7 points and 3.8 rebounds as a redshirt sophomore and led the Big Sky […]
There will be no return trip to Surprise for Arizona. The Wildcats were officially eliminated from Big 12 Tournament consideration on Friday, losing 13-1 in seven innings at Oklahoma State to even the series. They won Thursday’s opener to stay alive for the conference tourney but would have needed to sweep the weekend and get […]
The Arizona Wildcats have continued to build upon their success of the 2025 season on the recruiting trail. In early May, 3-star California wide receiver Braylen Ross announced his commitment to the Wildcats. On Friday, Brent Brennan added another offensive piece. Wayne Shanks Jr., a 3-star running back from Houston, announced his decision to play […]
The Arizona Wildcats needed their defense to come up big. They needed the bats to come alive. They needed their pitching to be solid enough to let those other aspects win the game against Marshall to advance to the winners’ bracket. All three did what was needed in a 7-5 victory in Arizona’s opening game […]
Arizona is hosting the Big 12 Track and Field Championships for the first time, and one day into the competition it already has a conference champion. Jett Kinder won the men’s javelin title with a throw of 70.02 meters (229 feet, 9 inches) on Thursday afternoon at Roy P. Drachman Stadium. It was a personal […]
The Arizona Wildcats and the Marshall Thundering Herd were fighting for different things down the stretch. The Wildcats hoped to host a regional. The Herd simply wanted to get into the tournament. Arizona didn’t reach its goal. Marshall did but just barely. Both are trying to overcome very similar late-season disappointments that put them in […]
Arizona could have mailed it in for the final weekend of the regular season, knowing its chances to make the Big 12 Tournament were slim and required help from others. Instead it chose to keep fighting. The Wildcats scored three runs in the top of the 9th inning to win 7-4 at Oklahoma State on […]
