Arizona baseball sweeps Fresno State in final nonconference series

In starting the season 1-8, Arizona scored a mere 30 runs with more than two crossing the plate in a frame just three times. This weekend the Wildcats basically matched that offensive output, and in doing so pulled off their first sweep. The UA put up season highs in runs and hits in a 14-4 […]

Arizona alum Damon Stoudamire out as Georgia Tech’s head coach

Former Arizona Wildcats great Damon Stoudamire is out as head coach of Georgia Tech after three seasons at school.

Arizona football enjoying less stressful offseason

The first offseason was an abbreviated one, the second a do over. Neither allowed much opportunity for Brent Brennan to take a breath, let alone a day off.

What Tommy Lloyd said after Arizona’s win over Colorado

After clinching the Big 12 Conference regular season title outright with a win over Iowa State on Monday night, Tommy Lloyd gave his team a few days off from practice.

Arizona softball starts Big 12 play with run-rule win over BYU

Arizona head coach Caitlin Lowe did not want the 2026 Big 12 softball season to start the way the 2025 one did. Last year, the Wildcats were upset by UCF in the opening series of conference play. There was no such letdown this year as No. 13 Arizona defeated the BYU Cougars 13-1 in five […]

Arizona baseball skewing young in field in quest to reverse poor start

When Brendan Summerhill suffered a broken bone in his hand in late March last season, Arizona decided to burn the redshirt of freshman Gunner Geile.

Arizona softball needs to avoid stumble out of the gate in Big 12 play

Arizona Wildcats head coach Caitlin Lowe remembers the beginning of last year’s Big 12 softball season. A heavily favored Arizona wasn’t sharp and a hungry UCF Knights team took two of three games in Tucson. It set the Wildcats back immediately and they had little chance of challenging Texas Tech for the Big 12 crown. […]
