Putting all the tiebreakers and speculation aside, No. 14 Arizona just needs to keep winning to strengthen its chances of hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
This time we thought we had it all figured out when Arizona beat then-No. 4 Utah and No. 21 Colorado last weekend, reaching five wins over Top 25 programs this season.
Now, the Wildcats are back in familiar territory: Not knowing if they will be hosting or traveling for the first rounds of the NCAA Tournament. When Arizona coach Adia Barnes was asked earlier in the week if she thought the Wildcats’ seeding for the league tournament would come down to the final day of the regular season, she said, “Absolutely not.”They still do. They have to win to have any shot at the No. 3 seed. But the Wildcats also must rely on Cal beating Colorado for both the Wildcats and Buffs to finish with 12-6 league records. With Cal coming in at 4-13 in Pac-12, on paper it seems unlikely.
Just a few weeks ago, Washington, which is in the eighth spot, defeated Stanford, which is in first place. And Thursday night, ninth-seeded Oregon beat UA.
