Arizona baseball rode a late-season surge to a spot in the NCAA Tournament, where the Wildcats will take on TCU in Fayetteville, Arkansas; ASU, USC and UCI weren’t so lucky.
Michael Lev Arizona coach Chip Hale hasn’t slept well lately, and Sunday night was no exception. His Wildcats have been in must-win mode for weeks, and Monday morning, they would learn whether it was all worthwhile.

I've been through these things, whether it's professional baseball, trying to get in the playoffs, or in the college ranks when I was here.The Wildcats let it all out in their locker room, dogpiling onto one of the blue couches from which players were watching the show. It was a stark contrast to the mood after Saturday night’s Pac-12 Tournament championship game in Scottsdale. Arizona lost 5-4 to Oregon.
It also included a series victory over USC and wins over Arizona State and UC Irvine. None of those teams made the field of 64, which included 10 teams from the SEC and eight from the ACC. The Big 12 placed six teams in the tournament, the Pac-12 five. But the committee looks at all games against conference opponents. Factoring in the Pac-12 Tournament and a midweek win over ASU, the UA’s aggregate league record climbs to 16-19. The Wildcats advanced to the Pac-12 Tournament final, while the Trojans and Sun Devils didn’t make it out of pool play.
“They take two out of three from USC, and they beat a very solid Irvine team and Stanford as well. On our rep calls, too, the representative from the Pac said this is a team — we had three meetings — and they just said this is a team you do not want to play and ranked Arizona higher than where they were in the league at that time.
