NCAA Tournament: By advancing to Sweet 16, Arizona men’s basketball also climbing school record book

SAN DIEGO—The Arizona Wildcats are heading to their 20th Sweet 16 after outlasting TCU in overtime on Sunday, making them the 10th program in Division I history to get to the regional semifinals on 20 occasions.

That’s one of many milestones the UA has achieved, or is on its away to accomplishing, during this NCAA Tournament run.

Arizona (33-3) is tied for the third-most wins in school history, two behind the record of 35 by the 1988 Final Four squad. Coach Tommy Lloyd needs one more victory to tie North Carolina’s Bill Guthridge for the most by a first-year coach, this after he joined Guthridge and Indiana State’s Bill Hodges as the only first-year coaches to earn a No.
