Arizona softball earned a walk-off win over ASU Saturday night, though not the kind the Wildcats may have been expecting through the first part of the game.

There have been record temperatures in Tucson the past few days, and some of that heat finally warmed up Arizona’s bats.

SAN DIEGO—When not scouting an opponent, Utah State coach Jerrod Calhoun prefers to watch professional basketball over the college game. Either the Boston Celtics, where former player and assistant Joe Mazzulla has won an NBA title, or European competition. But if Calhoun does decide to watch college hoops, Arizona is high on his list. “I […]
SAN DIEGO—Arizona has played 35 games this season, and along the way it has seen it all. Zones, presses, doubling and switching from opposing defenses, and all manner of player movement on the offensive side. Utah State may actually try to do all of that in Tuesday’s second round game at Viejas Arena in its […]
SAN DIEGO—Getting into March Madness is nothing new for Utah State, which is in the NCAA Tournament for the 26th time including six of the last seven tourneys.

On a night that celebrated its 1976 national championship team, Arizona couldn’t put together a performance befitting a champion.

SAN DIEGO—Arizona had no trouble with its opening opponent in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, beating No. 16 seed Long Island by 32 points.

SAN DIEGO—It had been 26 years since Arizona had three freshmen in the starting lineup of an NCAA Tournament game.

Yet after Tuesday’s loss to New Mexico, the Wildcats are 4-6 at home this season including 0-3 in midweek matchups. […]
It was an enigma. Forward Ogheneruona ‘Miracle’ Akpotayobo decommitted from Auburn after a coaching change there and ended up committing to Becky Burke at Arizona. Then, the freshman disappeared from the Wildcats’ roster in mid-September with no word from the program. There never was an official explanation for the departure of the 6-foot-3 post from […]
SAN DIEGO—Much has been made about the unique nature of Arizona’s starting lineup, one that includes three freshmen. That formula has only produced two national champions in the past 30 seasons, none since 2015, and hasn’t worked out for the Wildcats in the past. But as Tommy Lloyd has said over and over, his freshmen […]
