This is a huge opportunity for young Wildcats, who have defied the odds with just seven to eight available players. They’ve battled in the toughest conference in the country and made it to the Pac-12 quarterfinals. Arizona concluded the year with a 17-15 (8-10 Pac-12) record and the second-best NET Strength of Schedule. Arizona went on a late-season four-game win streak in Pac-12 play that included its first sweep of the Bay Area schools since 2001. The Cats defeated a pair of ranked opponents in No. 15 Utah and No. 3 Stanford, and its win over the Cardinal was its highest-ranked road win in program history.
Arizona is one of seven Pac-12 teams who made the Big Dance.
THEY’RE IN: Arizona Women’s Basketball is going dancing! 🏀💃🏽
