The 2018-19 academic year is over, which means it’s time to hand out some grades to the Arizona Wildcats‘ athletic programs. Check out our report card below.
(Note: We are not experts on every UA program, and do not want to pretend to be, which is why some teams, like track and field and swimming and diving, were not graded.)
Men’s basketball: C-
Record: 17-15, 7-11 Pac-12
Pac-12 finish: T-8th
In short: A C- might seem generous for a team that missed the NCAA Tournament for just the third time since 2010 and had its lowest win total since 2009-10, but expectations were low from the get-go after the once-prized 2018 recruiting class was torn apart by the federal investigation into college basketball, leaving the Wildcats with an empty cupboard.
