Arizona women’s basketball comes up short against ASU
TEMPE, ARIZ – On Monday, Arizona head coach Becky Burke used the old cliche that records didn’t matter in a rivalry game. It was almost true on Wednesday night in Desert Financial Arena. The Wildcats led Arizona State by as many as eight in the second half but couldn’t hold onto the lead in a […]
Arizona-ASU rivalry game starts new eras for both programs
It’s the first women’s basketball Duel in the Desert for Arizona head coach Becky Burke and ASU head coach Molly Miller. Both feature teams of mostly transfers.

What Tommy Lloyd, Jaden Bradley and Brayden Burries said after Arizona’s win at BYU
Tommy Lloyd is not a coach who likes to point to excuses, and Monday’s game against BYU was no exception. Arizona nearly coughed up a 19-point lead in the second half, including a near monumental collapse in the final minute, but Lloyd wasn’t going to put all the blame on some questionable foul calls. “And […]

A friend of mine sent me a message during Arizona’s demolition of West Virginia for win No. 20 on the season Saturday afternoon. “I actually want to see us lose a game just to see the blueprint because right now I don’t see one,” he wrote. That’s a fair sentiment, especially after watching the Cats […]
