FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.—Arizona had to win a bunch of games down the stretch just to get into the NCAA Tournament. Now it cannot lose again this weekend if it wants its season to keep going.
The Wildcats lost 12-4 to TCU on Friday night at Baum-Walker Stadium, falling into the loser’s bracket of the Fayetteville Regional. The UA (33-25) will face Santa Clara at 12 p.m. PT Saturday in an elimination game, a not unfamiliar place for many players on this team.
Arizona lost its first game in Coral Gables last tourney but battled through the loser’s bracket to reach the regional final.
