The last time Arizona and BYU met, just a few weeks ago, the Wildcats were unbeaten and the No. 1 team in the country. A lot has changed since then, for both teams. The UA (23-2, 10-2) is riding a 2-game skid, having lost at Kansas and then at home to Texas Tech to drop […]
Since moving to Hi Corbett Field for the 2012 season, Arizona has benefitted from a distinct home field advantage. The Wildcats are 315-129 at the park that previously had been used for minor league and Spring Training games, their 24-6 record there in 2025 the behind only the 2021 record of 32-8. The UA can […]
Arizona is a team that needs to turn opponents over and run in transition to score. If the overtime loss against Arizona State proved anything, it’s that dribbling into the trees and desperately looking for a passing lane or forcing a shot up against bigger players isn’t going to work for this group. The problem […]
The offseason didn’t go as well as Arizona soccer might have hoped. Four talented juniors-to-be with starting experience transferred out, including one who had just arrived for the 2025 season. It’s time to look ahead now. The beginning of spring games and the announcement of the 2026 Big 12 schedule provide opportunities to do that. […]
Arizona men’s basketball’s reign atop the Associated Press poll ended Monday after the Wildcats dropped a pair of games last week.

In Tommy Lloyd’s first season, it was Kerr Kriisa. The second year it was Oumar Ballo. Then Henri Veesaar in 2023-24 and Motiejus Krivas last season.

It was no surprise but at least it was official. Arizona guard Micky Perdue announced that her college career is over this afternoon via her social media accounts. Perdue transferred to Arizona after stints at Toledo, Glenville State, and Cleveland State. She helped Glenville State reach the Division II Final Four in 2023 before transferring […]
The last day of an early season tournament can often be a time to give different players some time on the field. That and an illness suffered by Arizona centerfielder Regan Shockey led to some shuffling of the lineup for the Wildcats. The end result was still a 8-0 win in six innings over Creighton […]
On the day that Caleb Love returned to Arizona for his Ring of Honor induction, Tommy Lloyd’s Wildcats could have used his shot-making the most. Love’s reputation as an uninhibited shooter with a knack for making baskets in clutch moments made him a polarizing college basketball figure. Like him or loathe him, Love’s game was […]

On a busy day in Tucson, the Arizona softball team played a doubleheader in the Bear Down Fiesta and pulled off a sweep. The Wildcats beat Coastal Carolina 9-1 in the opener and then Utah Valley 15-0 in the second, both via the run rule. “We were playing too tight from the beginning of the […]
From a school-record win streak to a rare skid. Life comes at you fast in the Big 12.

The Red Raiders (19-6, […]
Pitching was expected to be Arizona’s strength this season, but so far it’s been the source of several poor performances already. The Wildcats’ bullpen couldn’t hold a 5-2 lead, giving up five runs in the bottom of the 7th inning of a 7-6 loss to Oregon State on Saturday afternoon at Surprise Stadium. The UA […]
The long day at McKale Center started with College Gameday’s appearance, but the real action got underway with the Arizona-Arizona State women’s basketball game.

Lowe on Jenae Berry’s outing picking up the team, and Arizona’s overall performance: “I think it was. I mean, she did a great job of throwing her game and just limiting the damage. Gave us a chance to win the ball game. And we need to play better defense behind her. We need to hit […]

Coastal Carolina made the NCAA postseason last year, but it was still a bit of a surprise to see them come out and jump on the No. 17 Arizona Wildcats. After escaping an upset bid from Drake on Thursday, Arizona couldn’t pull a rabbit out of the hat a second time in the 6-2 loss […]
For the first time this season, Arizona men’s basketball will be without one of its key players when it plays Texas Tech on Saturday.
