After finishing the regular season ranked No. 3 in the country, Arizona earned a No. 1 seed in the 2014 NCAA Tournament. When the tournament started, many believed this team could win the National Championship. But the Wildcats fell short and lost to Wisconsin 64-63 in overtime in the Elite Eight.
The high of blowing out No. 5 Oregon was quickly replaced by the low of getting beaten by No. 13 ASU 58-21. Arizona had four turnovers as it lost its second straight to ASU and fell to the depressing AdvoCare V100 Bowl in Shreveport, La.

One of the biggest tragedies to hit Wildcat country was the death of track and field athlete Lezo Urreiztieta. The junior hurdler and aspiring doctor died on Dec. 21 at University of Arizona Medical Center due to complications following brain surgery. At his public memorial, friends and family said he was always eager to learn, a terrific brother, a loyal friend and an all-around phenomenal kid.
