OKLAHOMA CITY — For the fifth time this postseason, the Arizona Wildcats (39-21, 8-16 Pac-12) will face another unseeded team when they take the field at the Women’s College World Series on Sunday. Texas (44-20-1, 12-6 Big 12) dropped into the losers’ bracket with a 7-2 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday, setting up a matchup against Arizona.
The Longhorns and the Wildcats have some ties that will make for interesting storylines. Until June 2018, Texas head coach Mike White was building a powerhouse at Oregon. When Texas came calling with a raise, the Ducks did not make the kind of offer needed to keep him in Eugene.
