The No. 19 Arizona Wildcats have had a tough few weeks. They spent the last three weeks on the road, playing three games at Iowa State, three at LSU, and three at Oklahoma State. They went 4-6 over that stretch. Getting back to the friendly confines of Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium was a welcome respite. […]
After playing one of its best all-around games in the series opener, Arizona followed it up with a certified stinker. It’s a pattern that’s become all too familiar for the Wildcats. “The season in a nutshell, just inconsistent and sloppy,” UA coach Chip Hale said after Friday’s 5-1 home loss to BYU at Hi Corbett […]
Arizona women’s basketball added multiple quality prospects when the transfer portal first opened, but the Wildcats still had several needs. The biggest were experience and size. They got both with the commitment of former Boston University forward Anastasiia Semenova. The 6-foot-2 Semenova will be a redshirt senior next year after spending four years with the […]
Treydan Stukes won’t have to travel far to begin his NFL career. The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Stukes as the 38th overall pick in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday evening.

The last days of spring are here for Arizona football which means it’s the last opportunity for some guys to earn a voice in the room before the long summer break.

Just a few weeks ago it looked like Arizona softball would be hosting games in Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium well into May. The Wildcats looked primed to host their second straight regionals as they hovered just outside the top 10 of the RPI, KPI, and DSR. As April comes to a close, it appears more likely […]
For two innings on Sunday, Luc Fladda looked great. He retired all six batters he faced, striking out three, and looked in line for a solid outing. Then came the top of the 3rd, when a loss in command combined with the hot, windy conditions at Hi Corbett Field led to him giving up four […]
Former Arizona associate head coach Taylor Spears left the Arizona GymCats just before the school year after being with head coach John Court since 2019.

Arizona knew it was going to have a new pitching coach for 2026 last summer when Kevin Vance left to become head coach at San Diego State. But with an in-house replacement ready to take over, the transition was smooth. And it was. Until the replacement needed a replacement. John DeRouin’s surprise departure for a […]
The last week of spring football practice wraps up Saturday with the Spring Showcase inside Casino del Sol Stadium, and the Arizona offense is in one of the best standing points it has been in a long time.

One of the best individual performances in school history didn’t result in a win, but Smith Bailey still got his flowers from the league. Bailey has been named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week after his 15-strikeout effort on Saturday night against Kansas State. It is the first weekly conference award for Bailey and the […]
Becky Burke’s radio can be a source of important tidbits of information about Arizona women’s basketball. In late February, the Arizona women’s basketball head coach mentioned that the team had an unannounced verbal commitment from an international player. Evidence pointed to Polish wing Karolina Ułan. That has proven to be correct after Ułan announced her […]
By the end of this week Arizona will have a lot more clarity when it comes to how its 2026-27 roster will look, or at least how much work has to be done to complete it. The NCAA transfer portal closes on Tuesday night, while the deadline to declare for the 2026 NBA Draft is […]

There are some positions in the game of football that really only require one or two people to man the job. Quarterback, running backs, linebackers are some of those positions. Then there are positions that call upon an entire army. Wide receivers, offensive lineman, defensive backs all require a group of guys to get the […]
“I like her game,” former Arizona women’s basketball coach Adia Barnes would say when people questioned whether former Wildcat guard Helena Pueyo should shoot more. Other people like her game, too. Pueyo has been named to the All-EuroLeauge third team and is a EuoLeague Defensive Player of the Year finalist. EuroLeague is the top level […]
You never know what you’re going to see when you go to a ballgame, both good and bad. Sometimes both in the same night. One of the greatest individual pitching performances in program history ended up being for naught in Arizona’s 11-1, 8-inning loss to Kansas State on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field. Smith […]
Blessing ‘Adde’ Adebanjo often had the word “raw” affixed to her talent, but that didn’t keep her from having high profile suitors on the transfer market.
