The Wildcats have been able to slow down and enjoy time with their teammates during NCAA Tournament run.
Alec White Midway through their softball season, the Arizona Wildcats felt like they were playing catch-up. Not just in the standings, but with themselves, too.
It’s not until they depart Tucson for a weekend that the players get to slow down and enjoy each other’s company. Such has been the case the last two weeks. The Cats traveled to Columbia, Missouri, for the NCAA Regionals; after winning Sunday, they traveled straight to Starkville, Mississippi, for the best-of-three Super Regionals. Game 1 is scheduled for Friday at 9 a.m.
"It’s super unusual for Arizona to be the underdog, and that took so much pressure off," UA second baseman Allie Skaggs said."I feel like we're playing super loose; we have nothing to lose at this point. We've made it farther than I think a lot of us thought we were.""We’re enjoying every single minute of it and it has made it easier to just go play softball," Skaggs said.
Both Arizona and Mississippi State put in bids, but with the Bulldogs a No. 2 seed in their regional — and Arizona a No. 3 seed — the Bulldogs received the hosting nod.
