Arizona is in the hunt for a second straight Pac-12 title, sitting two games out of first place with three weekends to go. But the Wildcats may have already played a better opponent than anyone they’ll face down the stretch or in the Pac-12 Tournament later this month.
“They’re as good as any of them, and they beat all of them,” UA coach Chip Hale said of Grand Canyon, who beat the Wildcats 11-7 at Hi Corbett Field on Tuesday night. “It was a good 3-game series and they beat us.”
The Antelopes (31-15) took two of three from Arizona, winning multiple games in the season series for the first time since 1993.
