The Arizona Wildcats sport one of nation’s best defensive units. Tommy Lloyd has compiled a group of like minded players who communicate and play with intensity on the defensive end. Ivan Kharchenkov has gotten a lot of love for his defensive skillset. Jaden Bradley is known to be an elite on ball defender, Brayden Burries has improved as a defender throughout his freshman season, Koa Peat’s elite athleticism allows him to be super impactful, but Motiejus Krivas may very well be the most impactful defender in college basketball.   We will examine his defensive impac...

The Arizona Wildcats have won the Big 12 regular season title outright.

The Arizona Wildcats were completely disrespected by the the pre-season lists and Big 12 pre-season polls. Tommy Lloyd’s group was completely omitted from the Big 12 pre-season awards races. Now that the regular season is nearing the end, it seems Arizona players will also be left off the National Player of the Year list. This has led many to believe that Tommy Lloyd should be coach of the year.   PLUS!

The Arizona Wildcats travelled to Houston to take on the Cougars and Kelvin Sampson. The Wildcats did the unthinkable (to some people). Shorthanded without Koa Peat and Dwayne Aristode the team got the job done and beat Houston at their own game. This is just the 2nd time Houston has lost at home since joining the Big 12. Kingston Flemings was not enough to get the job done against the Cats. PLUS! Saul Bookman has recovered and will join the pod to breakdown this game.

The Arizona Wildcats face an uphill battle as they take to the road to face Kingston Flemings & Kelvin Sampson’s Houston Cougars. The Cougars have been the class of the Big 12 in recent seasons and still seem to be the force that must be reckoned with in this conference. With Koa Peat out, can the Wildcats get the job done?

What a nightmare it's been for preseason top 25 Arizona Baseball to start off the 2026 campaign. After back-to-back conference championships and a College World Series appearance in 2025, expectations were set fairly high for Chip Hale's program. But losses to Stanford, #13 Oregon State & Michigan in the 2026 College Baseball Series and a home loss to Omaha have the team starting off at 0-4. It's time to deep dive into this absolute disaster start.

The Arizona Wildcats have bounced back and defeated BYU at home in the newly named McKale Center at Alkeme Arena. Anthony Dell’Orso came up huge for Arizona with 15 first half points. Jaden Bradley tallied 9+ assists in this one. Sidi Gueye showed he is ready for some more minutes. Tommy Lloyd was forced to fix his rotation after star freshman Koa Peat went down with injury in the last game and with Dwayne Aristode out with illness. AJ Dybantsa and Rob Wright were not enough to overcome Arizona in McKale. The fellas break down this game and MORE!...

The Arizona Wildcats are coming off of back to back losses against Kansas and Texas Tech. Tommy Lloyd’s group could be without Koa Peat and Dwayne Aristode for this matchup with Kevin Young’s BYU. AJ Dybantsa continues to be impressive and a potential #1 overall NBA draft pick. BYU will be without Richie Saunders for this one and the remainder of the season as he suffered a torn ACL against Colorado. How will Arizona bounce back against BYU?

The Arizona Wildcats have spent most of the college basketball season at the top of the AP poll. After back to back losses to Kansas and Texas Tech, Arizona has dropped to the number 4 team in the poll. Michigan, Houston, and Duke were ranked above Arizona in the poll. Did the AP get it right? Does it matter? Did Arizona deserve to drop to 4? PLUS! Jerome Tang is OUT at Kansas State, Arizona Athletics slumping after Alekeme Arena change and more! Join Damon Fairall and Kevin Thomas on...

The nightmare week continues as the previously undefeated #1 Arizona Wildcats drop their SECOND consecutive game in conference play to Texas Tech. Concern however revolves around the status of star freshman Koa Peat and the injury that ended his game. No update on the severity of said injury just yet, but it doesn’t look like Peat will be available for Arizona’s upcoming game against BYU. The frontcourt battle was box office as senior Tobe Awaka carried the Cats with a classic double-double performance and Red Raiders star JT Toppin reminded the conference why he was last year’s Big 12...

The Arizona Wildcats took their first L of the season at the hands of Bill Self’s Kansas Jayhawks. The Wildcats got bad games from Koa Peat and Jaden Bradley. Meanwhile Brayden Burries tried to will his team back into the game but his contributions were not enough as Arizona fell in Lawrence to Melvin Council Jr and a flu-riddled Darryn Peterson (did not play). Flory Bidunga was immense for KU after a wonderful first half of basketball from Motiejus Krivas. PLUS! Did Arizona “benefit” from the loss? and more fallout from the loss in lawrenc...
