Arizona will play Princeton in the first round on Thursday in Sacramento, California. Barring a win against the Tigers, the Wildcats would either face No. 7 Missouri or No. 10 Utah State.
In the 2022 NCAA Tournament, the Arizona Wildcats earned the No. 1 seed in the South Region. Arizona was knocked out of the tournament in the Sweet Sixteen against Houston last year.
