TUCSON, Ariz. – For the fifth time in the last nine NCAA Tournaments, the Arizona Wildcats have earned a top-two seed with their inclusion as the No. 2 in the South Region as revealed in Sunday's NCAA Tournament Selection Show. Arizona will match up with No. 15 seed Princeton in the first round at 1:10 p.m. (MST) on Thursday, March 16 for a TNT broadcast from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.

The Wildcats will return to the capital city of California for postseason play for the third time in program history, having played there in the opening weekend of the 1994 and 1998 NCAA Tournaments. Arizona has faced the Princeton Tigers just once before in program history in a Fiesta Bowl Classic match-up during the 1985-86 season.

The Cats secured the No. 2 seed in the South Region after winning three games in three nights to repeat as the Pac-12 Tournament champions, bookended by their thrilling 61-59 victory over second-ranked UCLA on Saturday evening in Las Vegas.

Arizona's assigned television broadcast crew for TNT in Sacramento will be Brad Nessler (PxP), Brendan Haywood (analyst) and Dana Jacobsen (sideline).

On Wednesday, March 15, the Wildcats will have an open practice at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento from 1:15 p.m. - 1:55 p.m. The practice is free and open to all fans.
