The Arizona Wildcats won a baseball series at Oregon State over the weekend. For the second straight week the Cats dropped the opener but rallied to win the final two games.

Taking two of three from a ranked opponent on the road sure looks great on a postseason resume. Yes, the season is long but this the exact time a team wants to be winning games if it hopes to host a regional.

And it’s the exact time Arizona has failed in recent years.

The Arizona Wildcats baseball team is suddenly scuffling after losing two midweek home games to unranked New Mexico State. The good news is the Pac-12 standings didn’t change with the upsets so the Cats could still end up in first place this week with a series win at Oregon State.

After two weeks of Pac-12 basketball it wasn’t a shock that only one team still had a perfect conference record. It was a surprise that the one team was Colorado.

But then you realize the Buffaloes are the only Pac-12 school that played the first two weekends at home.

That changes this week as Colorado hits the road while the other four teams in the top half of the league return home. Will there be a new conference leader when the final buzzer sounds Sunday night?

The new season just started. The new season may have just ended.

Yes, the Arizona Wildcats’ seven-game season is on life support after just one game. That’s what the “must” in must-win means. And this wasn’t even a regular must-win. It was the must-win among the remaining Pac-12 games.

How much time does Mike Stoops have left?

The Arizona Wildcats have been looking forward to playing Oregon State. The Beavers have been looking forward to playing Arizona. Neither team is looking forward to the cellar but somebody is headed in that direction.

There is also a Thursday game this week so you’d better read this right now!
