The human voters in the four top 25 polls were impressed by the Arizona Wildcats’ 2-1 record at Iowa State last week. The computers were less so. Arizona now hovers just outside the top 10 in the polls published by the NFCA (12), USA Softball (11), D1 Softball (12), and Softball America (12). It improved […]
With Treydan Stukes, Dalton Johnson and Genesis Smith NFL-bound, Arizona now needs to find the replacements for the trio. To no one’s surprise, the staff went to the transfer portal to try and find replacements. The Wildcats brought in three safeties from the portal in Malcolm Hartzog Jr, Lee Mollette III and Cam Chapa. While […]
It was a tremendous 2025-26 season for Arizona, which won a school-record 36 games while claiming Big 12 regular season and conference tournament titles and reaching the Final Four for the first time since 2001. Now what? Work is already underway on putting together the roster for next season, with plenty of holes to fill […]
Arizona men’s basketball’s season ended short of the ultimate goal, but the team’s place among the best in program history was solidified again Tuesday in the final Associated Press poll of the season. Arizona is ranked No. 3 in the AP Top 25, behind national champion Michigan and runner-up UConn. Arizona spanned nearly the entire […]
It was a heck of a 2025-26 season, with Arizona returning to the Final Four for the first time in 25 years. But thanks to the current setup in college basketball, each year brings with it a very different team for the Wildcats and almost every school in Division I thanks to graduation, the NBA […]
No. 14 Arizona softball hadn’t lost a game since Friday, Mar. 20 when the Arizona State Sun Devils took the opening game of their three-games series. The Wildcats went on to win eight straight games and three Big 12 series since then. All that came to an end early Monday afternoon when the Iowa State […]
INDIANAPOLIS—When Lute Olson made his first Final Four with Arizona in 1988, in his fifth season at the school, it was another six years before he’d make it back. In between were annual NCAA Tournament appearances but never beyond the Sweet 16, and twice in a row his Wildcats were bounced in the first round. […]
Easter Sunday featured a doubleheader between Arizona and Iowa State, two games that brought no shortage of excitement. In a 10-7 offensive explosion, the Wildcats took game one. In game two, a 6-run top of the 7th inning helped Arizona (29-8, 11-3 Big 12) complete the sweep over Iowa State (21-15, 3-8 Big 12). The […]
The end of basketball season is a sad time for Wildcat Nation, but it’s not like UA sports in general are done. Something is always happening, particularly on the recruiting front. Arizona football has picked up a commitment from offensive lineman Karmello Calloway, a 3-star prospect in the 2028 recruiting class. He pledged to the […]
INDIANAPOLIS—Though it didn’t end the way it wanted, what Arizona accomplished during the 2025-26 season should be celebrated, particularly the job Tommy Lloyd did. Lloyd has been named the Naismith Men’s College Coach of the Year, the fifth national coaching award he’s won in five seasons with the Wildcats, second for this season. Last month […]
Arizona’s only scheduled game this season on linear television just happened to coincide with the men’s basketball team playing in its first Final Four in 25 years, which likely meant very few fans ended up tuning in (or showing up in person). That may have ended up being a blessed in disguise. Rival ASU scored […]
INDIANAPOLIS—Arizona’s first trip to the Final Four in 25 years didn’t go well, its 18-point loss to Michigan tied for the second-worst by a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. It was also the 10th time a team has lost by at least that many points in the Final Four over the last 40 […]
INDIANAPOLIS—Now we know what it looks like when this Arizona team truly has a bad game, and what a terrible time to find that out.

Weather is a major factor in Midwestern softball. The bulk of the Arizona Wildcats are getting a rare view of that this weekend in Ames, Iowa where their weekend series against Iowa State had to be significantly altered due to expected rain and cold.

It was “Strangers Things” Night at Hi Corbett Field, and Arizona sent ASU to the upside down with one wild inning to even the rivalry series. The Wildcats scored seven times in the bottom of the 7th to beat the Sun Devils 7-4 on Friday. “It’s a great win against our arch rival,” said head […]
INDIANAPOLIS—The largest arena in the NBA in terms of capacity is the United Center in Chicago, which can hold 20,917 fans. The biggest in college is Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center, which has a capacity of 22,090. When the 2026 Final Four gets underway on Saturday, with Illinois and UConn meeting in the first semifinal, more […]
INDIANAPOLIS—The way the 2025-26 season played out, it was inevitable that Arizona and Michigan would end up facing each other. That it’s not for the national title is the only surprising part. Since the Wolverines demolished Gonzaga by 40 points in November in Las Vegas, the same place the Wildcats began their season with a […]
INDIANAPOLIS—Relax, Wildcat Nation. He’s not going anywhere. Arizona has announced a contract extension for men’s basketball coach Tommy Lloyd, locking him in through the 2030-31 season and putting an end to a 2-week saga where he was considered a top candidate for the opening at North Carolina. “I’m happy to announce I’m staying at Arizona,” […]
One of my earliest memories dates back 25 years ago, when as a 5-year-old, I stood on the top step of my family’s Tucson home, waiting for my dad to meet me at the bottom of the staircase with good news. Even at that young of an age, Arizona basketball had such a hold on […]
Be honest. Even if you genuinely believed Arizona was going to win four NCAA tournament games and reach Indianapolis, you didn’t expect it to go like this. Maybe you figured the Cats would cruise past Long Island, which they did. It’s possible you even expected a comfortable win over Utah State in the round of […]
Daniel Susac had to wait four seasons to get to the majors, then another six games just to make his big league debut. All that patience paid off on Thursday night. The former Arizona Wildcats catcher went 3 for 3 with a walk in his first career start, helping his hometown San Francisco Giants beat […]
It was a heartbreaking ending to the team’s season in NCAA Regionals on Wednesday. Arizona gymnastics went into the final rotation with almost a 0.400 lead over rival Arizona State to advance to the second round, then they had multiple falls and major balance checks on the balance beam. ASU came back to bring things […]
Arizona keeps being just good enough to not win. The Wildcats fell 6-4 at home to ASU on Thursday night at Hi Corbett Field, the opener of a 3-game series, for their fifth consecutive loss. It was the 20th loss of the season for the UA, which didn’t get to that number until the College […]
