NCAA Tournament: First look at Arizona’s first-round opponent, the North Dakota Fighting Hawks

It’s time for the madness!

With a Pac-12 Tournament Championship in their rear view mirror, the Arizona Wildcats now focus their attention squarely on one thing: Reaching the Final Four.

The first step in that process will be against the North Dakota Fighting Hawks, the 15-seed in the West region.

North Dakota, winners of the Big Sky Conference, played only one Power-5 conference team in its non-conference schedule, the Iowa Hawkeyes, and it lost that game 84-73.

Overall, the Fighting Hawks finished first in their conference with a 14-4 record and won their conference tournament with a 93-89 overtime victory over Weber State.
