Fresh off their Elite Eight win over Purdue Saturday, the Tucson community is invited to welcome back the Wildcats tonight outside of McKale Center. 

Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd and the Wildcats celebrate from the podium with the West Regional trophy and their win over Purdue in the Elite Eight in San Jose, Calif., March 28, 2026.

Arizona men's basketball fans can wait on the south side of the arena, by the ticket office, to see head coach Tommy Lloyd and his 36-2 squad. 

The team is tentatively scheduled to arrive at 1:15 a.m. They will not be signing autographs.
