The Big 12 Women’s Basketball Tournament bracket is officially set. When the Wildcats take the court on Wednesday in Kansas City, it will be against a familiar foe they have faced twice already this season. Arizona women’s basketball is the 15-seed and will face 10-seed ASU in the first round of the Big 12 Women’s Basketball Tournament at the T-Mobile Center.
In the battle of first-year head coaches, Becky Burke and the Wildcats (12-17, 3-15) fell to Molly Miller’s Sun Devils (22-9, 9-9) in both regular season matchups. Arizona fell 68-61 in Tempe in late January, before suffering a 75-69 overtime loss in Tucson in mid-February. Both games had historic turnouts, with the game in Tempe setting a women’s all-time Territorial Cup attendance record at Desert Financial Arena (6,121), and a season-high crowd in Tucson on Valentine’s Day (8,766).
Arizona’s season is likely over following the trip to Kansas City, but a win over the Sun Devils could spoil ASU’s chances of making the NCAA Tournament. ESPN’s Charlie Creme has ASU in the First Four Out in his latest Bracketology projections.
