Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Tommy Lloyd has found plenty of success during the start of his tenure as the head coach of the Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team, and the school rewarded him with a contract extension on Monday.

According to ESPN's Jeff Borzello, Lloyd and the school agreed to an extension that will keep him in place through 2029 and pay him $5.25 million in the first year. That payout will increase to $6 million by the fifth and final year of the extension.

"I am humbled and grateful to finalize a long-term extension here at the University of Arizona. I am energized by the support of our fans, our players, our alumni, President Robbins, the Board of Regents and our donors," Lloyd said in the program's announcement.

"All of us are aligned on maintaining a highly competitive and nationally recognized basketball program that provides a great experience for the student athletes. We will continue to honor the Wildcat basketball heritage and give everything we have to make people proud to say 'Bear Down!'"

Arizona hired Lloyd in April 2021 to replace the fired Sean Miller, who was the program's head coach when it was involved in the federal investigation into corruption in college basketball.

Lloyd was a Gonzaga assistant coach under Mark Few for 20 seasons before taking the job with the Wildcats. He helped lead the Bulldogs to the national championship game two different times and was involved in establishing the program as a national power.

The 2021-22 season was his first as a head coach, and he wasted no time making an impact as the Pac-12 Coach of the Year and Associated Press Coach of the Year. Arizona went 33-4 and won the Pac-12 regular-season title and conference tournament title.

It earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament but lost to fifth-seeded Houston in the Sweet 16.

The Wildcats went 28-7 in his second season and won the Pac-12 tournament once again before they were stunned as a No. 2 seed in the first round of the Big Dance. That loss to 15th-seeded Princeton hovered over the start of the current campaign, but Lloyd's team is 20-5 and No. 4 in the country.

Arizona is one game ahead of Washington State in the loss column in the race for the Pac-12 regular-season title and will once again face elevated expectations in March.

Winning in the NCAA tournament isn't the only challenge Lloyd will face with this new extension. Arizona is also headed to the Big 12 starting next season and will face a new group of opponents as it looks to maintain its status as a basketball powerhouse.

It now knows the coach who will be trusted in accomplishing that task for the foreseeable future following this development.

Caleb Love and Johnell Davis traded buckets during No. 14 Florida Atlantic's hard-fought 96-95 victory over No. 4 Arizona in double overtime.

Davis finished with 35 points and nine rebounds, connecting on 55.6 percent of his shots. While he wasn't able to continue his hot shooting from behind the arc that he's shown throughout the season so far, he was deadly from nearly every other area of the court. Eight of his points came during the first overtime period, keeping FAU's offense alive down the stretch.

DAVIS GETS TWO FOR THE OWLS! @FAUMBB https://t.co/xESf1P8tqe

— DJ (@Dcasto128) December 23, 2023

Despite his erratic shooting night, Love helped Arizona stay in the contest with a game-tying three towards the end of overtime. He finished with 26 points, the third time in his past four appearances that he's crossed the 20-point threshold. Love added five rebounds and one assist.

— Brian Fox (@RealBrianFox) December 23, 2023

Although the former North Carolina guard hit two free throws to tie the game 95-95 in double overtime, Love misfired on a potential game-winning three at the buzzer to secure the win for FAU. Despite grabbing 50 rebounds compared to just 32 by the Owls, Arizona wasn't able to capitalize on its second chances.

College basketball fans were excited to watch the dual between the two guards.

Johnell Davis. Caleb Love.
Neither wants to leave Vegas without a win.

— Dick Weiss (@HoopsWeiss) December 23, 2023

FAU will leave Las Vegas with a 10-2 record, while Arizona falls to 9-2. After a perfect 8-0 start, the Wildcats have now lost two of their past three contests.

After transferring to UNC, senior guard Caleb Love has wasted no time establishing himself as one of Arizona's best players.

Love's talents were on full display as he helped lead the No. 1-ranked Wildcats to a 98-73 blowout win over No. 23 Wisconsin on Saturday much to the delight of home fans at McKale Center.

Love tied his season-high with 20 points while adding seven rebounds, five assists and two steals. It was his fifth straight game scoring in double figures and his seventh time in eight games this season for Arizona, which remained undefeated at 8-0.

In addition to his impressive offensive performance, Love helped lead a stellar defensive effort by the Wildcats against a Badgers team that was on a six-game win streak that included an upset of No. 3 Marquette.

All five of Arizona's starters scored over 10 points in the victory, led by Pelle Larsson's game-high 21. The Wildcats shot an incredible 58.3 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from beyond the arc, and their 98 points were the most a Wisconsin team has allowed since 1995.

But it was Love who was the star of the show, and fans on social media were impressed with his performance on Saturday:

Caleb Love playing the game of his career.

Defense, shooting the ball well, making reads

— Trevor Booth (@TrevorMBooth) December 9, 2023

Caleb Love’s first half stats: 11 points, four rebounds, four assists. He’s doing a terrific job in his role at Arizona. Career-high assists, career-low turnovers. He’s an extremely valuable piece for arguably the top team in America.

— Sean Paul (@SeanPaulCBB) December 9, 2023

Arizona has already won some big games without Caleb Love playing his best. Today, we saw how scary the Wildcats can be when he’s on.

20 points (7 of 13 FG), 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and just 1 turnover. Considering the opponent, probably his best game as a Wildcat.

Love had initially committed to Michigan for his senior season before ultimately deciding to transfer to Arizona. It's clear that he made the right decision, as the Wildcats look like one of the top contenders for a national championship.

Arizona will be back in action next Saturday in a marquee matchup against No. 4 Purdue.

No. 12 Arizona was given a 21.7% chance by ESPN to beat No. 2 Duke on the road Friday night.

Arizona guard Kylan Boswell wasn't phased by those odds.

The 18-year-old recorded 12 points, 8 rebounds, five assists and two steals to lead the Wildcats to a 78-73 upset of the Blue Devils.

Boswell was one of five Arizona starters with a double-digit points total, joining forward Keshard Johnson (14 points), center Oumar Ballo (13 points), guard Pelle Larsson (12 points) and guard Caleb Love (11 points).

College basketball fans were impressed by the starters' contributions, especially from former UNC starter and Duke rival Love.

It may be just the second game of Arizona's season, but the win had some fans expressing high hopes for the 2023-24 Wildcats' campaign.

I liked Arizona entering the season quite a bit, but this was a really impressive road showing. Pounded a Duke team that has plenty of size on the glass. Wasn't sure what Boswell would be this season but he was rock solid in a tough road atmosphere. Wildcats are very real.

The Wildcats are hoping to end this season with their NCAA Tournament run in as many seasons. For now, the team will focus on their next game Monday against Southern University.

Former North Carolina star Caleb Love is transferring to Arizona after decommitting from Michigan, he announced Tuesday.

I now present to you… “Savage Mode 2” #BearDown🐻⬇️🅰️ pic.twitter.com/brS7oXuWV0

— Caleb Love (@caleb2love) May 30, 2023

Love spent the first three seasons of his college career with the Tar Heels, and he put together an impressive 2022-23 campaign, averaging 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals in 33 games while shooting 37.8 percent from the floor and 29.9 percent from deep.

The 21-year-old point guard was also a key figure in UNC's run to the 2022 national title game, averaging 18.8 points in six NCAA tournament contests. The team fell to the Kansas Jayhawks 72-69 in the title game.

North Carolina put together an inconsistent 2022-23 season, finishing with a 20-13 record and missing out on the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2009-10, marking the first time a preseason No. 1 failed to secure a spot in the tournament since the field expanded in 1985.

After falling to the Virginia Cavaliers in the ACC tournament quarterfinals, Love announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. He then revealed in April his commitment to Michigan, but ESPN's Jeff Borzello reported May 17 that he had decommitted from the program.

Borzello added that "there was an admissions issue related to credits transferring."

It's no surprise Love decided to commit to Arizona. Eric Bossi of 247Sports reported May 24 that the Wildcats were among the schools "that keep coming up in conversations with sources around Love."

"Texas seems to have been involved the longest while Arizona was right on their heels," Bossi wrote. "Gonzaga emerged a bit over the course of the weekend."

Love will join a roster in Arizona that is coached by Tommy Lloyd and includes Kylan Boswell, Filip Borovicanin, Tautvilas Tubelis, Oumar Ballo, Pelle Larsson, Henri Veesaar, Dylan Anderson and KJ Lewis.

He has two seasons of eligibility remaining, as all student-athletes who were part of a program in 2020 were awarded an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Wildcats finished the 2022-23 season second in the Pac-12 with a 28-7 record.

Five-star small forward Carter Bryant, one of the top prospects in the 2024 class, has committed to the Arizona Wildcats, he told Joe Tipton of On3.com.

Bryant said of his decision to commit to Arizona:

"I chose Arizona because it was a perfect situation for me as a player. To play for a coaching staff of that experience and prestige that believes in me as a young man and player is a beautiful thing. Coach Lloyd's system allows me to play for a program that pushes the pace and allows players one through five to make decisions.

"Coach (Jack) Murphy also did a wonderful job at recruiting not just me but my family and allowing me to be apart of his family and feel at home. The culture that has been built by the best fan base in the country is something that's very hard to turn down as a player."

Bryant is ranked as the 11th-best prospect in the country and fifth-best small forward in the 2024 class, per 247Sports' composite rankings. He is also considered the best prospect out of California, topping the likes of Isaiah Elohim and Yves Missi.

The Californian selected Arizona over Louisville, Gonzaga, Duke, Florida, LSU, USC and many others that made him an offer during the recruiting period.

Arizona had long been considered the favorite to land Bryant, according to Jason Scheer of 247Sports. He had been one of the program's top priorities and visited the Wildcats several times.

Bryant received an offer from Arizona in June 2022 and visited the program again last fall for the annual Red-Blue game. He said the team's coaching staff and fan base were considered in his decision-making process.

"The coaching staff has coached at multiple levels, whether that's high school, college or the pro level, even overseas," Bryant said on the livestream of his announcement. "The players they've had in the past ... I know their development is some of the best in the country. So I know that I'm gonna when I get there, I'm gonna get better."

Arizona now sits fourth in 247Sports' 2024 recruit basketball team rankings behind North Carolina, Baylor and Iowa State. The only other commitment the program has received in the 2024 class is from 4-star shooting guard Jamari Phillips.

The Wildcats finished the 2022-23 season with a 28-7 record and No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament but were eliminated in the first round.

With commitments from players like Bryant, Arizona will be hoping it can make a deep NCAA tournament run in the near future.

Despite playing without two starters, UCLA led Arizona for most of Saturday's Pac-12 Championship Game.

Just not at the final buzzer.

Dylan Andrews missed a game-winning three as time expired, allowing Arizona to sneak by with a 61-59 victory and give Tommy Lloyd his second conference title in as many seasons.

Ąžuolas Tubelis finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds, while Courtney Ramey knocked down a three with 18 seconds remaining to put the Wildcats ahead for good.

UCLA had chances for redemption, with Tyger Campbell missing a game-tying free throw with seven seconds remaining and Andrews' three clanked off the side of the rim as the buzzer sounded.

Both teams earned praise on social media following the thriller:

Arizona took 2 of 3 from UCLA and has a better out of conference schedule.

Committee has a decision to make in my opinion.

— Jason Scheer (@jasonscheer) March 12, 2023

Arizona’s offense is very, very good. They average 80+ points per game.

UCLA held them to 61 points with our two best defensive starters out.

Heck of an effort by the Bruins. This team is so tough. https://t.co/UiwTVkiEzC

What's impressive is how Arizona beat UCLA in the Pac-12 Tournament championship in two straight seasons.

That was one hell of a game. Props to Arizona outlasting UCLA and props to UCLA for fighting to the end with two starters out.

— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) March 12, 2023

Won the conference by 4 games, lost 2 starters to injuries and got into a rock fight decided by a shot at the buzzer for the tournament title. UCLA is easily the best team in the conference and they are so easy to root for. What a squad.

— Ryan Rosenblatt, World Series Champion (@RyanRosenblatt) March 12, 2023

Arizona and UCLA will both go into Selection Sunday as likely No. 2 seeds, with both hoping to land in the coveted West bracket. The Bruins have a better overall resume and won the regular-season Pac-12 championship, but Arizona's now won two of three matchups and has a far healthier roster heading into the NCAA tournament.

It's fair to wonder if the head-to-head matchup, along with UCLA's Jaylen Clark being out with a season-ending injury (and Adem Bona being a question mark), is enough for the committee to flip the teams in final seedings.

ESPN's Joe Lunardi has UCLA as the No. 2 seed in the West and Arizona taking the No. 2 slot in the Midwest.

Make your picks: Play the NCAA March Madness Men's Bracket Challenge and Tournament Run.

Xavier head coach Sean Miller won't face any sanctions from the NCAA's investigation into alleged recruiting violations during his time at the University of Arizona.

Per Jeff Goodman of Stadium, Miller will not be subject to NCAA discipline based on the Independent Accountability Resolution Process' ruling.

Goodman did note that Book Richardson received a 10-year show-cause penalty and Mark Phelps received a two-year show-cause penalty. Both men were assistant coaches on Miller's staff with the Wildcats.

A majority of the penalties received by the University of Arizona were self-imposed, including its one-year postseason ban during the 2020-21 season, loss of one scholarship for the 2023-24 academic year and a $5,000 fine plus one percent of the average men's basketball budget based on the average of the previous three budgets.

Just in: Here are all of Arizona's penalties, per the IARP.

All told: minimal punishment.

Every school that has gone the IARP route has gotten off lightly. It's proven to be the wise strategy. Remember, Arizona also previously had a self-imposed postseason ban. pic.twitter.com/CzNFGpDVY7

— Matt Norlander (@MattNorlander) December 14, 2022

The only new discipline imposed by the IARP was a seven-week recruiting communication ban for the 2022-23 academic year.

Richardson was sentenced to three months in prison and two years of supervised probation in June 2019 after pleading guilty to a bribery charge.

Former assistants Tony Bland (USC) and Lamont Evans (Oklahoma State) also reached plea deals with federal prosecutors. All three men accepted bribes to steer players toward agents and financial advisors.

Former Adidas executives James Gatto, Merl Code and business manager Christian Dawkins also received prison sentences on wire fraud charges.

Miller was initially expected to testify during the trial, but United States District Court Judge Edgardo Ramos ruled in April 2019 the question of whether or not Miller paid his players was "irrelevant" to the case involving Richardson.

The University of Arizona fired Miller in April 2021, with athletic director Dave Heeke saying in a statement they were "evaluating the overall position of the program, and that includes on-court and off-court elements."

After sitting out the 2021-22 season, Miller was hired at Xavier in March. He returned to the school after previously serving as head coach for the Musketeers from 2004 to 2009.

Kylan Boswell, a 5-star point guard from Arizona's Compass Press, announced Wednesday that he will reclassify to the class of 2022 and join the Arizona Wildcats:

Every end is a new beginning🐻⬇️ @TiptonEdits @ArizonaMBB pic.twitter.com/ayf9SmDnC4

— Kylan Boswell (@BamBam_Boz) July 7, 2022

Before his reclassification, Boswell was considered the No. 15 player in the class of 2023, as well as the No. 4 point guard and the No. 2 player from the state of Arizona, per 247Sports' composite rankings.

"I like their fast-paced offense," Boswell said of the Wildcats in a past interview with On3's Joe Tipton. "Tommy [Lloyd] is kind of the mastermind behind the Gonzaga offense. They can score the basketball. Tommy is my guy. I really like Tommy a lot and the entire Arizona staff. I like the school a lot."

He'll now join a trio of transfers (Courtney Ramey, Cedric Henderson Jr. and Matthew Lang) and three incoming recruits—4-star center Dylan Anderson, Serbian small forward Filip Borovicanin and Estonian center Henri Veesaar—in an intriguing 2022 class.

But Boswell will be the crown jewel. 247Sports recruiting analyst Brandon Jenkins compared him to NBA point guard Patrick Beverley, calling him a "competitive and winning point guard with a strong and sturdy frame who sets the tone on the defensive end" and "one of the best on-ball defenders in his class."

At 6'2" and 180 pounds, Boswell doesn't have elite size in the backcourt and isn't the most explosive scorer, though he has the ability to find the net from all three levels and is a solid playmaker for his teammates. He has the upside to be a very good two-way player.

He likely won't start for the Wildcats immediately, but it would be surprising if he didn't have a big role the following season.

"He'll be able to be there as a backup and provide them another ball handler," his father Brandon told Eric Bossi of 247Sports. "He'll be ready to come in and play his role and not try to do too much and he understands what his role will be."

The Wildcats reached the Sweet 16 last season in Lloyd's first season as head coach, though Bennedict Mathurin, Christian Koloko and Dalen Terry departed for the NBA this summer. Nonetheless, Kerr Kriisa returns and is expected to start at point guard, with Boswell a natural backup for him, while Ramey and Adama Bal should handle the 2-guard duties.

Arizona Wildcats guard Bennedict Mathurin was selected No. 6 overall by the Indiana Pacers in the 2022 NBA draft Thursday.

The 20-year-old excelled in his second season at Arizona, averaging 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 45 percent from the floor and 36.9 percent from deep in 37 games.

The Canadian helped lead the Wildcats to a Pac-12 championship and the Sweet 16 of the men's NCAA tournament under first-year head coach Tommy Lloyd.

Given his consistent scoring touch and ability to get separation, Mathurin will be a difference-maker for the Pacers during the 2022-23 campaign and beyond.
