Staying home: Wildcats women earn No. 4 seed, will host first two rounds of NCAA Tournament

At long last, the Arizona Wildcats women’s basketball team will host an NCAA Tournament game for the second time in school history.

The Wildcats (20-7, 10-7) were selected as a No. 4 seed in the Greensboro Region, meaning they’ll host the round of 64 and round of 32 games at McKale Center. The fourth-seeded Cats face No. 13 UNLV in Tucson on Saturday.  If Arizona can advance, it’ll play the winner of No. 5 North Carolina-No. 12 Stephen F. Austin on March 21.
