Arizona basketball

Arizona guard Dalen Terry was invited to try out for Team USA's U19 roster last summer in Fort Worth, but he was among the cuts.

“It’s amazing to see what that tournament does to some guys and the confidence that exists,” Dixon said. Listen, I know we’ve got a great fan base and I know some will take it personal, but they’ve got to be better tomorrow. They have a committee and they do that for people like you to protect us.” As with building any all-star roster, Dixon said it’s always a “challenge” to trim the roster. “I guess you’re trying to start some controversy,” Dixon said, smiling. TCU coach Jamie Dixon went on to coach the USA team to a gold medal last summer.

San Diego, CA - Despite turning the ball over 19 times, Arizona Basketball was still able to overpower Wright State, advancing to the Second Round.

UNLV's upset bid came up short, as Arizona pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 72-67 win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament ...

Arizona is a great defensive team and they get a lot of their points off of defense, so as a point guard I have to set the tempo for that. “We’re going to have to take care of the ball. Arizona leading scorer Cate Reese has five points on 2-of-3 shooting, but she picked up her second foul late in the quarter, so that will be a situation to monitor. It’s also of no concern to UNLV, as Lindy La Rocque’s crew has made it a point to come into this game with a fearless attitude. That effort begins Saturday night, as the 13th-seeded Scarlet and Gray take on No. 4 Arizona in Tucson (7 p.m., ESPN2). Booker has come to life offensively on the last couple possessions, first swishing a jumper and then throwing a long pass ahead to Nneka Obiazor for a layup. After playing a superb first half, UNLV went cold over the final 2:34, allowing Arizona to close on a 6-0 run. Essence Booker got things started with a smooth pull-up jumper, and Desi-Rae Young followed with a post-up bucket. A Khayla Rooks free throw finally broke that spell, and Essence Booker knocked down a baseline jumper with 5:37 left to tie the game at 56-56. A high-scoring game might favor UNLV, which has played run-and-gun all season, but Arizona is the deeper team. That served as the knockout punch, and 4th-seeded Arizona will be moving on while 13th-seeded UNLV heads home. Arizona's defense proved to be the deciding factor, as the Wildcats forced UNLV into 19 turnovers.

Miller had standing offers on Saturday from Xavier and South Carolina,. but the familiar confines of his former post won out.

Miller went 120-47 with the Musketeers. He's won 73% of his games as a head coach, holding a career record of 422-156 in 17 seasons with three Elite Eight runs (one at Xavier, two at Arizona). Industry sources previously told CBS Sports that a resolution on that case from the NCAA and IARP is expected in the fall. Xavier thrived -- as it's done with many of its former coaches -- under Miller from 2004-09, making the NCAA Tournament four times, including an Elite Eight appearance in 2008 and a Sweet 16 run in 2009. The University of Arizona was assessed with nine allegations of school misconduct by the NCAA, five of them being Level I -- though only one of those directly tied to Miller. "Amy and I are humbled to be returning to Xavier," Miller said. "Xavier is thrilled to welcome Sean Miller and his family back to Victory Parkway," athletic director Greg Christopher said in a statement.

The Arizona Wildcats were jittery early in their first home NCAA Tournament game since 1998, when coach Adia Barnes was still playing.

Arizona finally got its mojo back in the fourth quarter, opening with an 8-0 run to go up 56-53. UNLV hit 8 of 12 shots in the quarter — Alyssa Durazo-Frescas even banked in a 3 — and closed with a 7-0 run to lead 53-48.

March Madness has only just begun and the action in the transfer portal already is in full swing. Jalen Graham, Arizona State's lone All-Pac-12 selection, ...

He shot .486 from the field this season and .528 from the free-throw line. The other two are guard Demari Williams and forward Will Felton, both of whom red-shirted this season as true freshmen. He scored in double figures in 13 of the last 18 games of the season, highlighted by a career best of 19 points in ASU's loss to USC on Feb. 3.

In their win over Wright State, Arizona had a balanced attack with five players in double figures, led by Christian Koloko who had 20 points and 11 rebounds.

There are a number of areas they can exploit against the Horned Frogs in hopes of moving on to the Sweet Sixteen. In their win over Wright State, Arizona had a balanced attack with five players in double figures, led by Christian Koloko who had 20 points and 11 rebounds. If the Wildcats want to continue to advance in the tournament, they are going to have to limit the type of lapses they had against Wright State and play to their strengths.

Find out what Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd said after the Wildcats' first-round win over Wright State in the NCAA Tournament.

Tommy Lloyd says Arizona's win over Wright State "was probably good to get out of our system." "The calculus today was simple. Arizona center Christian Koloko became the only player in NCAA Tournament history to record 17 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and five blocks.

Lindy La Rocque has something special going at UNLV, as evidenced by her phenomenal record through her first two years as coach (41-15 overall, ...

We want to put a great game plan together, because we want to win.” “That’s what it’s going to take.” The Scarlet and Gray shot 35.8% from long distance this season, good for 20th in the nation. Booker is setting the tone this week. “Offensively, we want to get in transition and score a lot of points,” La Rocque says. That energy was apparent at the team’s watch party for the NCAA Tournament selection show. Booker is a Spring Valley High grad who committed to UNR out of high school before transferring to Ball State and then to UNLV last offseason. “We think we can beat anyone,” Booker says. UNLV averaged 75.6 points per game this season, making it the 19th-highest-scoring team in the nation. Booker, who took home Mountain West tournament MVP honors after averaging 17.3 points and 4.7 assists over three games, has become a leader among the band of locals. As it has all season, UNLV will push the pace, run a high-powered offense and shoot its shot. The UNLV women’s basketball team earned its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2002 by winning the Mountain West Conference tournament earlier this month.

But TCU hopes to derail those plans at 8:40 p.m. Sunday. The Frogs won their first NCAA Tournament game in 35 years by knocking off 8-seed Seton Hall, 69-42, ...

Arizona shot just 39% in a loss to Colorado, for instance. The Wildcats make close to 50% of their shots from the field. Can Micah Peavy find ways to get some penetration and get to the rim? They turned it over 13 times in a victory over Texas Tech on Feb. 26, but forced 20 turnovers that night. The Frogs have been turnover-prone throughout the season, which is why some feel they won’t make a deep run in this tournament. Then TCU had a 63-48 victory over Arizona in Dallas on Dec. 30, 1952.

Arizona was happy to get past Wright State but it knows it must play better to keep advancing in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

“(Wright State) was really collapsing on the paint, in all our penetration, and even in our post feeds,” Lloyd said. “To be honest with you, it looked like Dalen (Terry) played the point a lot,” Lloyd said. And he’s helped us run our offense, getting in our flow, help us in our transition, with decision-making,” Lloyd said. It’s a great time of year to be 3-0.” And was hoping that we could get through this game without needing him. Koloko had just five assists in the month of March before Friday night’s game. So we had a pretty good experience, pretty good performance, but (we) always need to improve.” “I know you think I’m crazy, I don’t tell them, either one (Terry or Kier), to be the point guard. We have to tighten it up a little bit and hopefully we’ll be able to rein it in for the next game because we’re shooting a great percentage, but the turnovers on offense kill your efficiency.” “We’ve got to tighten it up. SAN DIEGO – Entering Friday night’s game, the news was encouraging. The result?

Adia Barnes led Arizona's rise to national prominence as a player, guiding the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament three of her four years in the desert.

“The versatility that we have in our roster is really helpful because as a coach and as a team I think we go in knowing ... we don’t need anybody to be Superwoman,” Banghart said. “We’re just here to see if we can do something like that and advance in this tournament.” They earned a No. 5 seed despite losing to Virginia Tech in the opening round of the ACC Tournament. “We need to be able to stay connected. Arizona lost two of those, including to Colorado in its first game of the Pac-12 Tournament. “I think we are really talented,” La Rocque said. "She’s a huge part of this team, obviously,” Arizona forward Lauren Ware said. She returned to coach at her alma mater and spearheaded a return to national prominence. “I think they are very talented, too. Arizona had fallen into dire straights before Barnes arrived in 2016, winning 11 Pac-12 games the previous four seasons. The former Stanford player and assistant was the Mountain West Conference coach of the year in her first season and led the Lady Rebels (26-6) to a sweep of the Mountain West regular-season and tournament titles to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time. So extremely excited that March is here.”

The No. 4 seed in the Greensboro Region, Arizona finally pulled away behind Pellington and Reese, who combined for 22 of the Wildcats' 24 fourth-quarter points.
