Arizona baseball misses NCAA Tournament

The Wildcats fall short for the second straight season

The Arizona baseball team’s goal was to return to the NCAA Tournament after missing it in 2018.

They fell just short yet again. The 64-team NCAA Tournament bracket was announced Monday morning and Arizona was nowhere to be found.

It’s not a surprise. The Wildcats were considered a bubble team, but neither D1Baseball nor Baseball American projected them to get in.

The Wildcats (32-24, 15-14) were hoping that finishing on a dominant 10-game winning streak would be enough to sneak in, but evidently the selection committee was not impressed.

The biggest blemish on Arizona’s resume was that it went 3-16 against top-50 opponents.

The Wildcats only graduate three seniors—Avery Weems, Justin Wylie and Cameron Haskell— but they do have some juniors who could go pro, such as Nick Quintana and Randy Labaut.

UA head coach Jay Johnson will be meeting with the media at 11 a.m., so we will have more reaction after then.
