Believe it or not, the 2025-26 Carolina basketball season is just around the corner.

Chattanooga is a basketball program that has deep roots of tradition and success as an NCAA Division-I Basketball member.

When Arizona started 3-0 for the first time in 10 years, and after five games sat at 4-1, reaching a bowl game looked fairly likely. But after back-to-back losses, albeit by one score apiece and to teams with a combined 13-1 record, the prospect of a 13th game for the 2025 season isn’t as rosy. […]
