There have been record temperatures in Tucson the past few days, and some of that heat finally warmed up Arizona’s bats. The Wildcats cranked out 17 hits, eight for extra bases, in a 14-6 win over Texas Tech on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field. The victory snapped a 4-game skid. Arizona (8-14, 2-3 Big […]
SAN DIEGO—When not scouting an opponent, Utah State coach Jerrod Calhoun prefers to watch professional basketball over the college game. Either the Boston Celtics, where former player and assistant Joe Mazzulla has won an NBA title, or European competition. But if Calhoun does decide to watch college hoops, Arizona is high on his list. “I […]
SAN DIEGO—Arizona has played 35 games this season, and along the way it has seen it all. Zones, presses, doubling and switching from opposing defenses, and all manner of player movement on the offensive side. Utah State may actually try to do all of that in Tuesday’s second round game at Viejas Arena in its […]
SAN DIEGO—Getting into March Madness is nothing new for Utah State, which is in the NCAA Tournament for the 26th time including six of the last seven tourneys. But winning a game has been far more rare. Friday’s victory over Villanova was just the third time in the last 50 years the 9th-seeded Aggies (29-6) […]
On a night that celebrated its 1976 national championship team, Arizona couldn’t put together a performance befitting a champion.

The Arizona Wildcats had a few surprises in the starting lineup for the first game of the rivalry series against Arizona State. They didn’t pay off.

SAN DIEGO—It’s only fitting that Arizona will need to beat a Mountain West Conference team in a Mountain West arena to get back to another Sweet 16. Ninth-seeded Utah State outscored No. 8 Villanova 15-3 over the final six minutes to win 86-76 on Friday afternoon at Viejas Arena, setting up a second round matchup […]
SAN DIEGO—Arizona had no trouble with its opening opponent in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, beating No. 16 seed Long Island by 32 points. It was the Wildcats’ largest margin of victory in the tourney since 1998 and the lead never got below 22 in the second half. But in March Madness, anything can happen. Tommy […]
SAN DIEGO—It had been 26 years since Arizona had three freshmen in the starting lineup of an NCAA Tournament game. That trio (Gilbert Arenas, Jason Gardner and Luke Walton) formed the corp of the 2001 squad that would make it to the national championship, the last time the Wildcats reached the final weekend of the […]
It’s a hot series. Two former Arizona softball players will return to Hillenbrand as Arizona State Sun Devils.

SAN DIEGO—During the first full day of the NCAA Tournament, top seeds Duke and Michigan got scares from their underdog opponents. The Blue Devils nearly lost to a team that played only five guys.

Since moving to Hi Corbett Field in 2012, Arizona has won more than 70 percent of its games and used that homefield advantage to lay the groundwork for four trips to the College World Series. Yet after Tuesday’s loss to New Mexico, the Wildcats are 4-6 at home this season including 0-3 in midweek matchups. […]
It was an enigma. Forward Ogheneruona ‘Miracle’ Akpotayobo decommitted from Auburn after a coaching change there and ended up committing to Becky Burke at Arizona. Then, the freshman disappeared from the Wildcats’ roster in mid-September with no word from the program. There never was an official explanation for the departure of the 6-foot-3 post from […]
SAN DIEGO—Much has been made about the unique nature of Arizona’s starting lineup, one that includes three freshmen. That formula has only produced two national champions in the past 30 seasons, none since 2015, and hasn’t worked out for the Wildcats in the past. But as Tommy Lloyd has said over and over, his freshmen […]
SAN DIEGO—Arizona beat five ranked teams in its first nine games this season, the first team in the Associated Press poll era to do so. It became the first school to win 12 games over ranked opponents before the NCAA Tournament, with six of those against Top 10 schools and five from the Top 5. […]

If Arizona can’t make the Final Four this season, it will never happen. You are forgiven if this thought has crossed your mind at any point over the last, I don’t know, five months. From the very first game of the season until the final game of the Big 12 Tournament the Wildcats have looked […]
Arizona is a popular pick to cut down the nets in Indianapolis. Everyone from a former U.S. President to Major League Baseball is on the side of Tommy Lloyd’s Wildcats to win the national championship.

Arizona gymnastics just completed its second Big 12 regular season. While it wasn’t quite as successful as the first, there was still a lot to celebrate.

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. When Clancy Shields took over the Arizona men’s tennis program in 2016, the Wildcats were a bottom-feeder […]
