Arizona softball drops series against Oklahoma on late comeback in Game 3
If it’s possible to have a bounce back performance that still ends in a loss, the No. 17 Arizona Wildcats did that early Sunday afternoon in Hillenbrand Stadium. The team put a 21-3 shellacking in game two behind them and battled the No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners in a 5-4 loss. The result was a 2-1 […]
What to watch for when unbeaten Arizona men’s basketball visits Kansas
Arizona’s first season in the Big 12 Conference was an eye opener, both in terms of the significant bump in competition from the Pac-12 and the hostile atmospheres it entered.

Upcoming gauntlet for Arizona part of Big 12’s plan to maximize men’s basketball exposure
The Big 12 announced its conference schedule in September, but Arizona knew who it was playing and in what order long before that.

What Tommy Lloyd, Jaden Bradley and Anthony Dell’Orso said after Arizona’s win over Oklahoma State
In addition to being off to the best start in school history, Arizona’s 23-0 record is also the best for a Big 12 school. Kansas won its first 22 games in 1996-97, the same season the Wildcats beat them in the Sweet 16 on their way to a national title. Yet it was the 2001 […]
Defense leads way for Arizona men’s basketball in blowout win over Oklahoma State
In upsetting BYU a few days ago, Oklahoma State scored 58 points in the second half and were a free throw shy of triple digits for the game.

Turnovers doom Arizona women’s basketball at No. 20 West Virginia

SB Nation Reacts: Arizona men’s basketball fans expect to see win streak end soon
At 22-0, Arizona is off to the best start in school history. The Wildcats are one of two remaining unbeaten teams in men’s college basketball, along with Miami of Ohio. But there hasn’t been a team run the table for an entire season since Indiana in 1975-76, so it stands to reason that the UA […]
Arizona football, Brent Brennan agree to contract extension thru 2030 season
After a massively disappointing first season in charge, Brent Brennan had to make notable progress in 2025 in order to show he was the right person to lead Arizona football.

Arizona center Motiejus Krivas makes Kareem Abdul Jabbar Award midseason list
One is random. Two is a coincidence. Three is a trend. So what does that make four? A pretty talented quartet.

3 former Arizona Wildcats named to World Baseball Classic rosters

Arizona baseball picked to finish 2nd in Big 12
New year, same prediction. Arizona has been picked by the Big 12 coaches to finish second in the conference in 2026, the same spot they projected the Wildcats to end up in last season.
