The Arizona Wildcats are coming off of back to back losses against Kansas and Texas Tech. Tommy Lloyd’s group could be without Koa Peat and Dwayne Aristode for this matchup with Kevin Young’s BYU.

BYU will be without Richie Saunders for this one and the remainder of the season as he suffered a torn ACL against Colorado. How will Arizona bounce back against BYU? Will Koa Peat be BACK for Houston? PLUS! Big 12 tier rankings UPDATED and MORE!

No. 4 Arizona Faces MUST WIN Game vs BYU & AJ Dybantsa Ahead Of PIVOTAL Houston Matchup

February 17, 2026
The nightmare week continues as the previously undefeated #1 Arizona Wildcats drop their SECOND consecutive game in conference play to Texas Tech. Concern however revolves around the status of star freshman Koa Peat and the injury that ended his game. No update on the severity of said injury just yet, but it doesn’t look like Peat will be available for Arizona’s upcoming game against BYU. The frontcourt battle was box office as senior Tobe Awaka carried the Cats with a classic double-double performance and Red Raiders star JT Toppin reminded the conference why he was last year’s Big 12 Player of the Year. This is unfamiliar territory for Arizona who sustains its first two losses in back-to-back fashion, but there’s not time to waist with BYU coming to town on Wednesday. Is the sky really falling? Or do Arizona fans need some perspective? PLUS, Saul Bookman joins the show! Join Damon Fairall, Kevin Thomas & Saul Bookman on the AZ Wildcats Postgame!

Arizona Announces NEW Uniforms Ahead Of MAJOR Matchup With Texas Tech 👀

The Arizona Wildcats took their first L of the season at the hands of Bill Self’s Kansas Jayhawks. The Wildcats got bad games from Koa Peat and Jaden Bradley. Meanwhile Brayden Burries tried to will his team back into the game but his contributions were not enough as Arizona fell in Lawrence to Melvin Council Jr and a flu-riddled Darryn Peterson (did not play). Flory Bidunga was immense for KU after a wonderful first half of basketball from Motiejus Krivas. PLUS! Did Arizona “benefit” from the loss? and more fallout from the loss in Lawrence.

Will No. 1 Arizona BENEFIT From LOSS To Kansas In Big 12 Play?

February 10, 2026
Undefeated no more. The #1 Arizona Wildcats drop to 23-1 after taking their first loss of the year to top 10 Kansas on the road… without Darryn Peterson. It didn’t end up costing the Jayhawks though as the Phog Allen Fieldhouse lived up to its reputation. First half heroics from Motiejus Krivas faded into second half disappointment after Flory Bidunga took over with a flurry of dunks. Star freshman Brayden Burries put in a performance that’s become typical of the Big 12 Player of the Year candidate, dropping 25 points along with 5 rebounds. However it was a brutal night at the office for fellow freshman Koa Peat who only put up 6 points. What is going on with the potential lottery pick? After taking the first L of the year should the Cats still be ranked #1 in the next AP Poll? Can Tommy’s Lloyd’s team avoid back-to-back losses when #16 Texas Tech comes to the McKale Center for College Gameday? PLUS, Saul Bookman joins the fellas on postgame!

Why Arizona Won’t Fall VICTIM To “TRAP Game” vs Oklahoma State At Home

February 6, 2026
The Arizona Wildcats have the 2nd best defense in the country according to KenPom. One of the primary reasons their perimeter defense is so strong is the addition of German wing Ivan Kharchenkov. Kharchenkov has taken Arizona's defense from really strong to suffocating. Playing alongside Motiejus Krivas, Koa Peat, Brayden Burries and Jaden Bradley has only amplified his defensive skills. Kharchenkov joins the show to talk defense, communication on that end, Nintendo DS pictures, and MORE on the pod PLUS!
