Bear Down Wildcats

The men go down in the semi's 4-1 to USC.

One would've thought being a warm weather school we'd have had at least one tennis sweet 16 before

I played tennis in high school. Did manage to play #1 over half my senior year, but on a really crappy team at Apollo HS up in Glendale.

My freshman year at UofA my mom asked me if I was going to try out for the tennis team.
I'm like, Mom, we play in the PAC-10. Maybe you heard of a guy that played for Stanford a few years ago, John McEnroe?

Always happy to see the sports that get less attention breaking records.

First Lowe then Shields.

What’s going on here? Did someone tie up our President and AD?

For anyone who has followed PAC-10/PAC-12 tennis over the years, this is just insane.

Well done team!

So, are the Cats ranked? Or dont we get any respect for beating the other ranked teams and going undefeated in the PAC?

Hear, hear!

When you think that Jimmy Connors played at UCLA and John McEnroe at Stanford and the history and clout of the California schools, it is an amazing achievement. I just hope we can hang on to Clancy Shields for a while.

Wrong thread Greg

Shit.

By winning at ASU, Arizona Men's Tennis won a share of the conference title, along with Utah and USC. Wonderful accomplishment.

But the official Pac-12 conference Twitter account only mentioned USC getting it's share and played it casually as just another one of many they've won through the years, in effect ignoring Arizona and Utah. Clancy Shields should raise hell about this and demand an apology and equal treatment for Arizona and Utah. Other than a personal mea culpa from whoever, there should be a formal re-tweet that says "we fucked up", and then a tweet simultaneously celebrating the accompishment of all three teams. It won't happen, but that's what should happen. I'm disappointed that the Pac-12 doesn't weed out USC and UCLA loyalists embedded in their organization. If you can't play it straight, you're gone. There's no longer any reason to pump up USC and UCLA. As a matter of fact, from a national competitive perspective, they should probably get the short end of the stick for the remainder of their tenure. Poorly played.

So presumably they did one for Utah, too, but who knows. Still bullshit. If it's a 3 way co-championship, put it out as such, once, rather than somebody's idea of separate "appropriately" phrased pats on the head. Every loser employed by the Pac-12 should find a real job.

For the first time ever, the Cats are hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament, https://arizonawildcats.com/news/2023/5 ... acket.aspx

Cats beat Boise State and Oklahoma State to advance to the third round. They will face #3 Ohio State.

For the first and last time in program history, the Wildcats make the Pac-12 Championship final

FIFO

Championship game is airing on Pac 12 LA right now.

Definitely for real and NC contenders

Cats are one game to their first Pac-12 title. Game is on Pac-12 Los Angeles.

Congratulations to the UofA's men's tennis team, winning their first Pac-12 title!
