I think we match up well. It's been 18 years since the Wildcats made three straight trips to the NCAA Tournament — 2003, 2004 and 2005. The school record is four consecutive trips from 1996-2000. All of those teams were coached by Joan Bonvicini.
A total of six other Pac-12 teams made the field of 68: Stanford, Utah, UCLA, Colorado, Washington State and USC. Only one conference, the ACC, had more teams make the field . The Big Ten and the SEC also had seven teams in. A few pluses for Arizona: Beating five ranked teams and winning 21 games. Also on the positive side of the ledger was that the Pac-12 was tough one through 12. The teams beat one another up game in and game out.
