Three of those have been […]
SAN JOSE, Calif.—To no one’s surprise, Tommy Lloyd has been mentioned as a top candidate for the opening at North Carolina.

The No. 14 Arizona Wildcats* were going for the unofficial state softball championship. They got the series win against Arizona State over the weekend. Tuesday brought No. 17 GCU to town.

A week ago, after another poor Tuesday performance in a home loss to New Mexico, Chip Hale floated the idea of cancelling some upcoming midweek games in order to keep his pitching fresh for the weekend.

Tommy Lloyd has preached the mantra of “One day at a time” throughout Arizona’s postseason run. The Wildcats head coach will need to double down on his words over the coming days. Lloyd is considered a top candidate for North Carolina’s head coach position after the school parted ways with Hubert Davis Tuesday. ESPN, CBS […]
While the madness for college basketball continues, the helmets have been strapped, sleds have been pulled out, and the energy is high for Arizona spring football. The spring brings a lot of opportunities for guys to show how much they’ve improved and possibly inch their ways to a starting spot. That’s one of the things […]
It’s been a while since Arizona softball had a star freshman. No Wildcat has won a conference Freshman of the Week award since Regan Shockey took the honor four times in the final year of the old Pac-12. That drought has ended and Kez Lucas is the reason. Lucas was named the Big 12 co-Freshman […]
Arizona has a pretty good track record against the SEC, going 16-10 against the league since 2000. That includes wins over Alabama, Auburn and Florida this season.

It’s almost quaint and old-fashioned at this point. Instead of an “agent” telling someone at a website that primarily exists for transfer news, Tucsonan Achol Magot announced her transfer via a personal post on social media. Guard Kamryn Kitchen has stuck with the personal touch, as well, posting a thank-you to Arizona women’s basketball fans […]

They would join Kansas State’s Casey Alexander, who […]
The Arizona GymCats went into Big 12 Championships last Saturday basically locked into a spot in the first round “play-in” meet if they made regionals.

At 7-foot-2 and 260 pounds, Motiejus Krivas strikes an imposing figure in the paint. But there’s a big difference between just being a big body and making full use of it. In his first two seasons—or, rather, one and eight games—Krivas made an impact on defense but not in a way that stood out. But […]

Winning two out of three conference series to start the Big 12 season is a big deal. Winning a rivalry series as one of them is even bigger. The No. 13 Arizona Wildcats (23-8, 6-3) did that on a brutally hot Sunday afternoon as they took down the No. 20 Arizona State Sun Devils* (23-9, […]
