Arizona volleyball to host Bowling Green in NIVC championship match
Arizona head coach Rita Stubbs has said a few times that winning the NIVC would prove that the Wildcats are the “65th best team” in Division I volleyball. The Wildcats are arguably better than several teams that got into the NCAA Tournament, including some at-large teams that were taken over them, but her point is well taken. If a team doesn’t win its league or impress the selection committee enough, it doesn’t have the chance to prove that it’s better than those teams.
It can still win a championship, though. And that’s just what the Wildcats will try to do.
Arizona (23-9, 9-9 Big 12) will host Bowling Green (25-9, 16-2 MAC) in the NIVC tournament title game on Tuesday, Dec. 17 at 6 p.m. MST in McKale Center. The match will stream on ESPN+.
The Wildcats got a first-round bye in the tourney before defeating the Pacific Tigers, the Wyoming Cowgirls, and the Northern Colorado Bears. They dropped just one set, losing the third set of their match against the Bears in the Fab 4.
The three teams UA faced were ranked No. 128, No. 107, and No. 68 in RPI before the tournament. They will now take on the 85th-ranked Falcons.
BGSU and Arizona have one common opponent in Big 12 team Cincinnati. The Wildcats defeated UC 3-1 in Cincinnati. The Bearcats defeated BGSU 3-0 in Bowling Green.
The Falcons’ only ranked opponent this season was No. 22 Dayton. The Flyers defeated BGSU in straight sets. Arizona went 2-8 against teams that were ranked at the time of the match and 2-9 against teams that were ranked at some point over the season.
BGSU’s other major conference opponents were Big Ten teams Ohio State and Illinois. It lost in straight sets to the Illini. It lost both matches in a home-and-home played against the Buckeyes. OSU swept the Falcons at home and beat them 3-1 in Bowling Green.
Once hitting the NIVC, BGSU has been resilient. It beat Binghamton and Wright State 3-1 at home. In both cases, the opponent won the first set 25-18 before the Falcons came back to win three straight.
BGSU then went on the road to play DePaul. Once again, it won 3-1. The Falcons dominated the Blue Demons in the first two sets before dropping the third. They regrouped to easily win the fourth.
The Fab 4 was even more difficult for the Falcons. They fell behind St. John’s 0-2 in Queens, N.Y. They narrowly defeated the Red Storm in the third before blowing them out in the fourth and taking a close fifth on the way to a reverse sweep.

Why Milan Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be Tough Blow for Iowa State Basketball
As the Iowa State Cyclones continue to reflect on what was a strong season, one of their top players from last year is in the portal and is the best player available.
After deciding to come back to college a couple of days ago, Milan Momcilovic is now the best player in the portal and has a number of suitors looking to bring him in. Due to the large amount of money that he is expected to get, it would be a complete shock if he came back to Iowa State at this point. However, where he goes could have an impact on the program.
Last season, the junior had a breakout year and emerged as one of the best shooters in the country. While there is still work to be done to translate his game to the next level, he is an impact player in college basketball.
However, where he might go is the big decision everyone is waiting to see. Currently, it appears to be a three-horse race between the Arizona Wildcats, Kentucky Wildcats, and the Louisville Cardinals. Of the three, the Cyclones certainly don’t want to see him go to one of those schools.
Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be a Tough Blow
If the star shooter for the Cyclones were to choose the Wildcats, it would be a tough blow for Iowa State. While the Cyclones had a great season this year, it was Arizona that was a thorn in their side.
The Wildcats were able to beat them both in their regular-season matchup and then again in the Big 12 tournament. The game in the Big 12 was an absolute thriller and went right down to the wire.
While Iowa State might have lost, it was Momcilovic who had a fantastic game in the showdown. Now, as the talented sharpshooter mulls his decision on where to play next year, seeing him go to Arizona would be a tough blow for the Cyclones.
This was a team that beat them twice last year, and taking one of their best players would likely result in the Wildcats being considered a better team heading into next season as well.
While Iowa State did a great job in the transfer portal and has some young talent coming back, losing the best three-point shooter in the country is a big blow. Furthermore, since Kentucky and Louisville aren’t in the Big 12, seeing Momcilovic join one of those squads wouldn’t sting or have an impact on the Cyclones nearly as much.

Arizona GOP attorney general debate turns personal with insults, name-calling
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The two Republicans running for Arizona attorney general faced each other Thursday in a debate that devolved into insults and name-calling.
State Senate President Warren Petersen is running against military attorney Rodney Glassman in the Republican primary. The debate turned chaotic as the candidates clashed.
“Are you asking the questions, Steve?” Petersen said.
The moderator attempted to regain control. “Gentlemen, we’re going to reset,” he said.
Candidates clash over experience
The debate was the last before early voting begins next month. In between the name-calling, the two candidates argued over their resumes.
Glassman said Petersen does not have the legal experience for the job.
“Warren is just full of information, you can call them lies. He received his law license in December 2023, 28 months ago. He has never filed a lawsuit as a lawyer. He has never prosecuted a criminal as a lawyer,” Glassman said.
Petersen has had a law license for less than three years. He said he worked on cases in Scottsdale while earning his degree. Petersen said his experience as the current state Senate president also counts.
“I have done more in three years than Rodney Glassman will even get done in his life because he’s a trust fund baby who’s just looking for a place. He’s been running for 15 years and he’s lost six elections in a row,” Petersen said.
History of campaigns
Glassman has not won an elected office since he served as a Democrat on the Tucson City Council in 2007. Glassman is an Air Force attorney with 17 years of experience.
Democratic strategist Matt Grodsky said the real winner was the incumbent, Kris Mayes.
“I thought it was entertaining television. I’m glad Arizona got to see up close why these two individuals should be nowhere near the AG’s office,” Grodsky said.
Voting in the primary begins June 24.
