Arizona’s last extended road trip is a battle for the postseason. The 20th-ranked Wildcats (18-8, 7-7) hope to safeguard their path to the NCAA tournament, while opponents Colorado and Utah are looking for resume-boosting wins.
Something’s gotta give.
The Wildcats helped themselves tremendously by getting a road split last weekend against the Washington schools. Taking the match against Washington State provided the RPI boost that could make the difference for Arizona when the tournament field is announced at the end of the month.
Still, coach Dave Rubio said he thought they could have gotten the road sweep.
