Arizona traveled a long way to get to its Big 12 series, and then watched its opponent hit the ball a long way out of the stadium over and over. Wildcat pitchers allowed four home runs in an 11-6 loss at UCF on Friday night in Orlando. It was the most homers yielded in a […]
SAN JOSE—Arizona spent nine weeks this season at No. 1 in the Associated Press poll, the longest streak in school history.

Arizona volleyball head coach Rita Stubbs has a complete staff for the first time since her first season at the helm.

SAN JOSE—Getting past the Sweet 16 was the first step for Arizona, but there’s still one more game before it can end that 25-year drought of reaching the Final Four. And to do so it will require knocking off a team that ended its own long drought a few seasons ago. Second-seeded Purdue made the […]
When you think of some of the great Arizona football quarterbacks of all time, names like Nick Foles and Willie Tuitama come to mind. Now, there is only one name that comes before both of those Wildcats legends, and that name is Noah Fifita. When Fifita came in for an injured Jayden de Laura in […]
SAN JOSE—On the opening possession of its Sweet 16 matchup with Arkansas, Arizona went into the normal halfcourt set that it runs at the start of nearly every game. Brayden Burries eventually drove to the rim and scored with ease, something that would happen a lot in the 109-88 win. The Wildcats had 60 points […]
Arizona got over the Sweet 16 hurdle, winning in that round for the first time in 11 years.

Top-seeded Arizona (35-2) […]
SAN JOSE—There have been plenty of games this season when Arizona jumped out to a big lead early, only to see it get chipped away by the opponent. The win at BYU in January comes to mind, as does the Big 12 final when Houston turned a 15-point deficit into a 1-point game. The Wildcats […]
SAN JOSE, Calif.—One hurdle down, one even bigger one to go. Top-seeded Arizona put on its best offensive display of the season, and one of the best in NCAA Tournament history, crushing No. 4 Arkansas 109-88 on Thursday night.

It’s been a tough first six weeks for Arizona this season, and it’s about to get tougher. The Wildcats are on the opposite side of the country this weekend for a series at UCF, a road trip so far away they left Wednesday morning to acclimate to the time change. It’s also the first of […]

The portal may not be open for undergraduates yet, but that doesn’t mean players aren’t available. The coaching carousel has led to decommitments across the country. Arizona head coach Becky Burke and her staff benefited when former Florida commit Arynn Finley announced her pledge to the Wildcats on social media Wednesday evening. Finley is a […]
SAN JOSE, Calif.—It’s called the Sweet Sixteen, but for Arizona it’s provided nothing but a sour taste the past decade. Since reaching the Elite Eight three times in five years under Sean Miller, the Wildcats have made it to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament on four other occasions. Three of those have been […]
SAN JOSE, Calif.—To no one’s surprise, Tommy Lloyd has been mentioned as a top candidate for the opening at North Carolina. So it goes when you’ve won more games in the first five seasons of your coaching career than anyone in NCAA history. But would Lloyd want to leave Arizona for UNC, considered one of […]
SAN JOSE, Calif.—It’s been five years since Arizona and Sean Miller parted ways, and in that time Miller has coached at two other schools.

A week ago, after another poor Tuesday performance in a home loss to New Mexico, Chip Hale floated the idea of cancelling some upcoming midweek games in order to keep his pitching fresh for the weekend. Whether that plan is still under consideration is unknown, but it was evident Hale wasn’t going to pass up […]
Tommy Lloyd has preached the mantra of “One day at a time” throughout Arizona’s postseason run. The Wildcats head coach will need to double down on his words over the coming days.

While the madness for college basketball continues, the helmets have been strapped, sleds have been pulled out, and the energy is high for Arizona spring football. The spring brings a lot of opportunities for guys to show how much they’ve improved and possibly inch their ways to a starting spot. That’s one of the things […]
It’s been a while since Arizona softball had a star freshman. No Wildcat has won a conference Freshman of the Week award since Regan Shockey took the honor four times in the final year of the old Pac-12. That drought has ended and Kez Lucas is the reason. Lucas was named the Big 12 co-Freshman […]
Arizona has a pretty good track record against the SEC, going 16-10 against the league since 2000. That includes wins over Alabama, Auburn and Florida this season. But the Wildcats haven’t faced Arkansas, their opponent in the Sweet 16 since 1995. That was during the golden age of Razorback hoops, when coach Nolan Richardson piloted […]
