It's the first day of February so before we know it, it'll be March. March means two things for Tucsonans: Lucky Lime is the flavor of the month at Eegee's, and, of course, March is the month where the Arizona Wildcats go to the NCAA Tournament. After all, the Wildcats have participated in March Madness every year since 1985, with the exception of two (2010 and 2012). Arizona fans are hopeful 2016 will be no different.
As it stands now, those hopes will absolutely come true. Despite being in the middle of the Pac-12, the Wildcats find themselves at 17-5 overall, ranked 23rd in the AP poll and 20th in the Coaches poll, safely in the tournament field.
