TUCSON, Ariz. — The Arizona Wildcats earned a bid in the NCAA Selection Show on Monday morning and will begin their 2023 postseason journey in the Fayetteville Regional. There they will face host Arkansas, TCU, and Santa Clara.

In their second season under head coach Chip Hale, Arizona put together an at-large resume that included a runner-up finish in the Pac-12 Baseball Tournament, 20 wins against Top 100 RPI teams, the 25th toughest schedule in the nation, and more. Arizona's selection marks the 42nd NCAA Tournament appearance in program history, the sixth most in the nation.

Arizona will open play at the Fayetteville Regional against TCU on Friday, June 2 at 6:00 p.m. MST with a televised broadcast on ESPNU.

The Wildcats struck a hot streak at the end of the season, making it all the way to the Pac-12 Tournament Championship Game over the weekend in Scottsdale at the No. 8 seed. Arizona is led offensively by outfielder Chase Davis and first baseman Kiko Romero, who have combined to hit 40 home runs and drive in 160 RBI.
