The title defense begins tonight in Berkeley.
The Arizona Wildcats open Pac-12 Conference play with a 3-game road series against the California Golden Bears, bringing with them the target that comes with having won the league crown a year ago.
The UA (10-3) will be playing its first true road games of the season, having played the last 10 at Hi Corbett Field after opening the year with a 3-0 record at a tournament in Texas. And it will be playing with a squad that’s still missing some guys who were expected to be a big part of this season.
