The Wildcat diaspora waits with bated breath to see Tommy Loyd and company’s path to get to Glendale and the Final Four.

It’s time for the madness so follow along throughout the day for updates on the Wildcats, the tournament and everything you need to know heading into the NCAA March Madness.

By dint of being knocked out of the last Pac-12 tournament, the Wildcats’ spot in the tournament is still safe but where they will end up is now up in the air.

Arizona finished the regular season sixth in the final AP poll and seventh in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll. The question before the selection committee is: was the Wildcats’ Pac-12 Tournament loss to eventual champion Oregon damaging enough to knock them out of No. 2-seed (the absolute worst-case scenario) or will they hang on to the No. 2-seed in the West Region (the absolute worst-case scenario)?

March Madness starts with the First Four on March 19.
