No answer for Flagg...or was there?

Arizona Wildcats Basketball

The Arizona Wildcats (24-13) had no answer for Duke's Cooper Flagg.

Or did they?

The Wildcats' all-american guard Caleb Love scored 14 points in the first half and then put up 21 in the second half as Arizona, down 48-42 at the half,  came roaring back from a 19-point deficit midway through the second half before bowing out of the NCAA Tournament tonight in Newark, New Jersey, 100-93.

Flagg was impressive with a 30-point night, including six rebounds and seven assists, and owned the paint, but Love was also impressive, bringing the Wildcats back to within five points with just under two minutes left in the game.

Duke and Flagg combined for 61 percent shooting (33 of 54) and 11 of 19 from long range, while Love and the Wildcats shot 30 of 67 from the field (44.8 percent), including 12 of 26 three-pointers.

Love finished with 35 points and played all 40 minutes, making 11 of 21 field goal attempts, including 5 of 11 three-pointers. Jaden Bradley finished in double figures with 15, while Henri Veesaar scored 13 points and was the top Wildcats rebounder with six. 

Duke (34-3) moves on to play Alabama in the Elite 8. Arizona returns home to Tucson after turning in an impressive postseason, finishing third in the Big 12 Conference and reaching the Sweet Sixteen.

Way to go, Wildcats!

Baseball season upon us...it's about time!

Baseball...it's that time

This old sportswriter turns 80 this summer, and luckily, I'm still standing and patiently await another Major League Baseball (MLB) season. 

The 2025 season begins on Thursday...

Where will the Arizona Diamondbacks end up this season? Can the D'backs go all the way?

Who will be crowned World Champions? The fun begins in just 48 hours.

As for the University of Arizona baseball team, the Wildcats already have 23 games in the books for 2025. 

Arizona is 18-5 overall and owns a 5-1 record thus far in its first year in the Big 12 Conference.

Fresh off a 2-1 series win in West Virginia, Arizona returns home with some good news and some bad news. The Wildcats are unbeaten at home with a 13-0 record at Hi Corbett Field. Arizona returns home with an injured leadoff man out of the lineup and arguably its best player, Brendan Summerhill.

Summerhill was injured in the series with the Mountaineers and will be out for at least a month. He leads the Wildcats with a .409 batting average and 38 hits in 93 at-bats. The Wildcats will miss his speed around the bases, as he leads the club in triples with six and total bases with 61.

As for my amateur baseball team, the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS), we never stop playing and are three months into our 2025 season with nine months to go.

The TOTS have a new group of 60-year-olds and a roster nearing fifty!

Of course, I'm the oldest active player still standing, along with 86-year-old Ted Roberts, who serves as the team's "voice" and our scorekeeper.

The TOTS play all their home games at Tucson Udall Park every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As the temperatures rise, the games will soon start at 9 a.m. instead of 10.

As for the Wildcats, they have 17 home games remaining at Hi Corbett Field this spring. 

The Diamondbacks are back at Chase Field and will open the 2025 season with the Chicago Cubs in town for the season opener and a four-game series (March 27, 28, 29, and 30).

Batter up!

Go, Diamondbacks!

Go, Wildcats!

...and go, TOTS!

A 'Lovely ending' in Seattle

 Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Anthony Dell'Orso sank four pressure free throws in the final 10 seconds, and Caleb Love knocked home the final two free throws to clinch an 87-83 win for Arizona over Oregon tonight in Seattle to move on to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and a date with Duke next week in Newark, New Jersey.

Love led the Wildcats with 29 points, nine rebounds, and four assists, while four players -- Jaden Bradley, Tobe Awaka (14 rebounds), KJ Lewis, and Dell'Orso added 12 points apiece as Arizona shot 45.5 percent (30 of 66) from the field, including 10 of 20 3-pointers.

Arizona (24-12) didn't come out swinging in the first half. In fact, just five minutes into the game, the Wildcats were down 19-4. By halftime, Arizona led 42-38 -- a 38-19 turnaround!

The second half was a chess match between Oregon coach Dana Altman and Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd. The two coaches pulled out all the stops, and the final minute took forever!

Way to go, Wildcats!

Note: Game time next Thursday against Duke at 6:40 p.m. (Arizona time)

Arizona zips by Akron in first round of NCAA Tourney

Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Arizona rolled over Akron 93-65 in Seattle today in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Jaden Bradley led the way with 19 points, Trey Townsend was a force under the bucket with 16, while Carter Bryant finished with 12 and Caleb Love and KJ Lewis added 10 apiece.

The Wildcats shot 56.5 percent from the field (39 of 69), made 12 of 25 3-pointers, and out rebounded the Zips, 56-27! 

Way to go, Wildcats.

Houston holds off Arizona to win Big 12 Conference title

Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Houston (30-4) held off the Arizona Wildcats (22-12) with an 11-2 run down the stretch to win the championship game of the Big 12 Conference Tournament, 72-64, today in Kansas City.

The Wildcats didn't score a field goal in the final five minutes, and their chance of winning the tourney title slipped away. Arizona led at the end of the first half 33-28. Caleb Love led the Wildcats with 19 points, Jaden Bradley added 14, and KJ Lewis finished with 11.

Arizona made just five 3-pointers, and Houston canned nine of 23 from long range. Milos Uzan was the big gun for the Cougars with 25 points, including 8 of 16 from the field and 4 of 6 from beyond the arc.

The Wildcats played well in Kansas City. They finished the conference tournament with a 2-1 record, including wins over Kansas and Texas Tech.

And now it's on to the Big Dance next week. The Wildcats await Selection Sunday and look to grab anywhere from a 3, 4, or 5 seed for the tourney.

   

Arizona reaches Big 12 final with 86-80 win over Texas Tech

Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Caleb Love scored a game-high 27 points, while KJ Lewis had an all-around game with 15 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and two steals to lead Arizona to an 86-80 semi-final win tonight over Texas Tech in the Big 12 Conference Tournament in Kansas City.

Arizona improved to 22-11 and once again received balanced scoring. Trey Townsend added 12 points, Jaden Bradley scored 10 and had no turnovers in 37 minutes, and Henri Veesaar finished with 10 points and seven rebounds.

The Wildcats shot 50.8 percent from the field (31 of 61) and 8 of 16 from long range, with Love hitting five of eight from beyond the arc.

Arizona will face 2nd-ranked Houston on Saturday at 3 p.m. in the championship game. Houston (29-4) walloped BYU this afternoon in the other Big-12 semi-final matchup, 74-54.

Way to go, Wildcats!

   

Way to go, Henri... and a little Love for Caleb!

 Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Caleb Love made sure his teammates got the ball tonight.

The senior Wildcats guard dished out six assists, grabbed four rebounds, picked up two steals, and scored 11 points as Arizona reached tomorrow night's Big 12 semi-finals with an 88-77 win over Kansas in the quarterfinals tonight in Kansas City.

The benefactors from some of Love's passes included Henri Veesaar (19 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists), KJ Lewis ( 19 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists), and Trey Townsend (16 points, 3 rebounds, one assist).

If that wasn't enough firepower by the Wildcats, Jaden Bradley added seven points, Carter Bryant added seven, Anthony Dell'Orso chipped in five, and Tobe Awaka finished with four points.

Arizona (21-11) shot 53.4 percent from the field (31 of 58) and sank eight 3-pointers (8 of 18). Kansas (21-12) outrebounded the Wildcats by one, 36-35.

Now it's on to the semis and a rubber match Friday with Texas Tech (25-7).

Go, Wildcats!

   

Larry Tagg passes away at 94

 

We lost a fan and a 20-year TOT on January 17, 2025

The article below from 2014...Rest in Peace, Larry!

I admire all the TOTS, past and present. Now that I'm the club historian, I continue to sift through the archives, looking at pictures and faces of men who have come before me. Due to medical issues way beyond their control, a few of the honorary TOTS who are still alive and kicking show up and sit in the bleachers every week to cheer us on.

Take, for instance, 82-year-old Larry Tagg. Larry sustained a brain injury a few years back, and he was forced to retire from the active list. However, he still makes the annual luncheon every year and attends all the "dress out" games (every three months, we play a game in our full uniform—followed by a cookout—all the honorary TOTS and former players are also invited and partake in our yearly Christmas party).

So, like a good historian, I checked up on Mr. Tagg. He was the TOT of the Year 2000 and the team manager in 2001-02. In 2005, at 74, he played in 63 games, collected 30 hits in 127 at-bats, knocked in 11 runs, and batted .236. In 2006, his average slipped to .193, but he did step to the plate 166 times, had 32 hits, walked 25 times, and was hit by a pitch four times.

As for his life before the TOTS, well, that's a story in itself.

Larry was a serviceman...and I mean a military serviceman.

Tagg, born and grew up in Sioux City, Iowa, allowed his early "baseball playing" days to be interrupted by enlisting in the Army in 1948. After his eight-year stint in the Army, he returned home and played for some independent baseball teams, traveling around Western Iowa and Eastern Nebraska. It wasn't long before he ended up at a small college in Denver and met Donna Gensler. They married, and he subsequently joined the Air Force and served as a chaplain for 20 years.

While on active duty, Tagg served in Alaska and Germany and was stationed close to home at Davis-Monthan AFB, just to name a few of the bases. He retired from the military in 1976 and eventually made his way to Tucson with his wife, Donna, and his two sons, Philip and Martyn.

And then along came the TOTS.

Dickinson scores 33 to lift Kansas over Arizona, 83-76

 Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Behind a 33-point effort from its big man Hunter Dickinson, the Kansas Jayhawks knocked off the Arizona Wildcats 83-76 today at the Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas.

Arizona ends its regular season with a 20-11 overall record and 14-6 in the Big 12 Conference.

The Wildcats were led by Jaden Bradley with 21 points, while Caleb Love finished with 16. Trey Townsend added 13, and Tobe Awaka finished in double figures with 10 points and nine rebounds.

And now it's on to the postseason and the Big 12 Tournament next week in Kansas City. 

Arizona beats Arizona State, 113-100

Arizona Wildcats Basketball

There was not a lot of defense in this one!

Arizona won its 20th game of the season, outscoring Arizona State 113-100 tonight at McKale Center, and clinched a double-bye for the 16-team Big 12 Conference Tournament.

Five players scored in double figures for the Wildcats, including a career-high 22 points from Henri Veesaar. Caleb Love scored 21, as did KJ Lewis, who tied his career high. Tobe Awaka added 15 points, and Jaden Bradley finished with 12 points.

The Wildcats shot 59.0 percent from the field tonight (36 of 61) and made 10 of 23 from long range while committing just six turnovers. 

Arizona (20-10, 14-5) has one regular-season game remaining at Kansas on Saturday.

And then it's on to postseason play.

Way to go, Wildcats!

Wildcats fall to Iowa State in Ames

Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Arizona made only 19 of 57 field goal attempts and lost 84-67 to Iowa State tonight in Ames. The Wildcats made just four 3-pointers, while the Cyclones buried 11 of 20 from long range to put Arizona away.

The Wildcats fall to 19-10 overall and 13-5 in the Big 12 Conference.

Jaden Bradley led the Wildcats with 18 points, KJ Lewis added 13, and Caleb Love finished with 10 points as Arizona shot a dismal 33 percent from the field, including four of 22 from 3-point land.

Up next: Arizona State at McKale on Tuesday.

Dawson top TOTS hitter in February/2025

Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)

60-and-over baseball

Mike Dawson, 69, was the top hitter on the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers during the month of February. 

Dawson went 22 for 34 in 12 games for a .647 batting average. Mike scored 10 runs and knocked in 11 runs. 

It was another exceptional month for the amateur baseball club as forty-nine players took the field and recorded at-bats at Udall Park. As a club, the TOTS batted 731 times and collected 276 hits for a team batting average of .378.

Finishing second in hits was Joe Opocensky (21 for 43), while Phil Ahern was third with 20 hits in 40 official at-bats. Reed Palmer hit the only home run for the month, and Opocensky led the club in RBI with 18.

On the mound, it was Opocensky leading the way with a 4-0 record in 28 innings. Dawson compiled a 2-2 record and was the strikeout king for the month with 11.

Love's 23 leads Arizona over Utah, 83-66

Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Caleb Love scored a game-high 23 points, while Jaden Bradley, Henri Veesaar, and Tobe Awaka chipped in 12 points apiece as #22 Arizona improved to 19-9 overall and 13-4 in the Big 12 Conference tonight at the McKale Center with an 83-66 win over Utah.

Love hit six 3-pointers tonight and dished out seven assists.

Arizona heads for Iowa State (21-7, 11-6) and a Saturday showdown with the 9th-ranked Cyclones.

Way to go, Wildcats.  

Phantom call lifts BYU over Arizona, 96-95

Arizona Wildcats basketball

It may have been the worst call ever by a referee inside the friendly confines of the McKale Center. With  13 seconds remaining, Caleb Love was fouled and sank two free throws to take a 95-94 lead over the Cougars tonight.

Up to that point, Arizona had dished out 23 assists, canned 10 three-pointers, made 54.2 percent of their field goal attempts (32 of 59), received a 27-point effort from Love, and outrebounded the Cougars 36-25, and had five players score in double figures.

What the Wildcats didn't do was take care of the ball. They allowed 22 BYU points off 14 turnovers. Some diehard Arizona fans will say that was the difference, but some. No, many left McKale blaming the men in stripes.

The call occurred after the end-bounds pass, following Love's two tosses at the charity stripe.

The ball found its way into the hands of Richie Saunders with 3.2 seconds left on the clock. The whistle blew, and Saunders went to the line and sank both free throws for the win.

Who was the foul on?

The man in stripes ( I will not name him here) called the foul from 50 feet away.

Trey Townsend was awarded the phantom foul.

Enough said.

Arizona falls to 18-9 and 12-4 in the Big 12 Conference.  

Mal the scorekeeper

Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)

60-and-over baseball

We lost another Hall-of-Famer and our scorekeeper on February 19, 2025.

"A fixture in our dugout with a brilliant mind and the holder of three degrees -- from the University of New Hampshire, Yale, and the University of Arizona. He will be missed. Rest in Peace, Mal." -- TOTS' historian Dan Price.

The article below is from five years ago, during the heart of the COVID season...

Mal leaves his house every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. His journey isn't far -- just a little over a mile from Udall Park and then a 100-yard walk from the parking lot to the dugout and the home field of the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers.

"I'd rather be playing," said the 83-year-old Mal Zwolinski, a former star player and a legendary hitter for the amateur baseball organization, which is just five games away from completing its 53rd season. "Back issues have kept me from the game."

Over 250 players have worn the blue and white TOTS jerseys since 1968, the first year of the old-timers club, which played not at Udall but at Tucson Himmel Park.

Zwolinski, with the letters "Z" and "W" in his name, is used to being the last entry on a list for anything, especially a baseball roster. Mal is the last man listed on the TOTS' all-time roster, but there it is: Mal Zwolinski, uniform #7, birthdate 10/23/1937, hometown: Winchester, New Hampshire, and a proud TOT since 2006.

Mal took his last swings in 2013, but in 2009, at 71, he played in 62 games, batted 188 times, scored 44 runs, collected 99 hits, and knocked in 64 runs, which calculates to a hefty .527 batting average.

Now, due to COVID-19 precautions, Mal sits alone in the dugout. His teammates have already dragged the field, inserted the bases, and placed his four-legged table (canasta type, good enough usually for four card players to play comfortably) at the north end of the dugout bench.

He's ready for work with a mask on and a couple of trusty pencils in his hand. Now, some of the guys joke with him: "Mal, I'll  give you a dollar for a hit today." Mal has yet to go home with any extra change in his pocket.

It's been a tough time for the world, our country, and our baseball club. 

There have been times during the last few months when the TOTS have been short of players. If that happens, all the equipment, including Mal's scoring table, is put away, and all the players, including Mal Zwolinski, head home.

Mal may be the last name on the roster, but he is the first on the list as a TOTS legend and the club's No. 1 scorekeeper.

Wildcats survive Waco, edge Baylor, 74-67

 Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Henri Veesaar, in his first start, scored 13 points, had four assists, grabbed five rebounds and two steals, while Tobe Awaka picked up his sixth double-double with 14 points and 12 boards tonight to lead Arizona to a tough road win in Waco over Baylor, 74-67.

The 19th-ranked Wildcats improve to 18-8 overall and 12-3 in the Big 12 Conference. Arizona heads home and prepares for its game on Saturday at McKale Center against the BYU Cougars.

Caleb Love finished the night with 13 points, while Anthony Dell 'Orso played 24 minutes and scored 11 points. Carter Bryant played 26 minutes and filled up the stat sheet with seven points, six rebounds and six assists.

Way to go, Wildcats!

Arizona heads for Baylor with 17-8 record, 11-3 in the Big 12

 Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Can Arizona survive the rest of the season without the three-pointer?

Probably not!

Arizona heads for Baylor Monday with a 17-8 overall record and an 11-3 conference record, good enough for third place in the Big 12.

The Wildcats remain in the top tier of the conference standings despite shooting a dismal 31.3 from long range (168 of 536 attempts). Arizona's all-American shooting guard Caleb Love leads the Wildcats, making just 59 of 196 from three-point range.

Unfortunately, without the three-pointer, the Wildcats will have trouble making it past the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Case in point: Arizona's 62-58 loss inside the friendly confines of McKale on Saturday to sixth-ranked Houston, the 13th-ranked Wildcats were the best team on the floor for 35 minutes but once again without the ability to toss in the dagger from long range proved costly as the home team clanged 18 of 23 shots off the rim, allowing the Cougars to skip town with a hard-earned win.

Make no mistake about it—Arizona is a very good basketball team. They go eight deep and are very good defensively. But Arizona needs more Love and more threes!

No fun in Manhattan

 Arizona Wildcats Basketball

There was no fun in Manhattan, Kansas, last night.

The Arizona Wildcats had a bad shooting night and too many turnovers, allowing Kansas State to prevail, 73-70.

KJ Lewis led the Wildcats with 15 points, and Caleb Love made only three field goals in 38 minutes. As a result, 13th-ranked Arizona drops to 17-7 overall and 11-2 in the Big 12 Conference.

The Wildcats can get back on track, beginning at high noon on Saturday, when Houston invades McKale Center. A win over the Cougars will pull Arizona back into a first-place tie in the conference with 6th-ranked Houston (20-4, 12-1).

My Wildcats have come a long way since the losses in the Bahamas

Arizona Wildcats Basketball

During those final days back in November, the Arizona Wildcats were struggling to say the least.

Arizona lost two of three in the Bahamas, squandered what seemed like a commanding lead in Phoenix in mid-December to the UCLA Bruins, and had to settle as an also-ran in the college basketball standings with a 4-5 record.

And then things changed. The shots began to fall, the big men grabbed rebounds, and the Wildcats were reeling off wins—13 to be exact, 11 in the Big 12 Conference.

Here we are in the second week of February, and Arizona is now ranked 20th in the nation, 17-6 overall, and tied for first place in the Big 12, 11-1, with the Houston Cougars.

Arizona has just one blemish on its record during that stretch, a Big 12 Conference loss at Texas Tech (70-54) while picking up non-conference wins over Samford (96-64), Central Michigan (94-41), and Big 12 wins over TCU (90-81), Cincinnati (72-67), West Virginia (75-56), UCF (88-80), Baylor (81-70), Oklahoma State (92-78), Colorado (78-63), Iowa State (86-75), Arizona State (81-72), BYU (85-74)...and last night's payback win at McKale, an 82-73 victory over Texas Tech.

Against 13th-ranked Texas Tech at McKale, five Wildcats scored in double figures. Caleb Love and Jaden Bradley collected 16 points apiece, Henri Veesaar and KJ Lewis chipped in 15, and Tobe Awaka recorded another double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

Way to go, Wildcats!

Of course, it doesn't get any easier. Next:  at Kansas State (12-11, 6-6) on Tuesday, Feb. 11, and back home at McKale against Houston (19-4, 11-1) on Saturday, Feb. 15.

Go get 'em, Arizona! 

Youngster tops TOTS January batting stats

Tucson Old Timers (TOTS)

60-and-over baseball

A 62-year-old led the Tucson Old Timers in January as the TOTS' 2025 season is officially underway.

Martin Pelger, a retired pharmacist from Globe, Arizona, was the top hitter for the month with 23 hits in 40 trips to the plate for a .575 batting average. The young man also led the club in RBI with 15.

To put things into perspective, Pelger was born in 1962, and two of the super senior players on the TOTS' current roster graduated from high school in 1955 and 1963!

Mike Dawson, 69, finished second in hitting for the month with 21 hits in 39 at-bats, a .538 clip, while Joe Opocensky and Tim Tolson ended up third and fourth, respectively. Opocensky batted .476 (20 for 42), and Tolson finished 20 for 36, a .556 average.

Mike Steele, 77, led the super seniors (75-and-over) with 14 hits in 35 at-bats, a .400 average. 

Dawson and Glen Vann led the TOTS pitching stats. Dawson hurled the most innings (38), and Vann logged 32 innings. Both pitchers finished the month with 2-2 won/loss records and struck out 10 batters. Pelger pitched 26 innings, pitched in four games, and finished 2-1.

The TOTS combined 274 hits in 681 at-bats as a club for a .402 batting average.

Way to go, TOTS!

 

Thunder Tim rolls in 2024

Thunder Tim Tolson lived up to his nickname in 2024, as the hard-hitting lefty led the way in almost every offensive category for the 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers.

Tolson played in 115 games and batted 365 times while maintaining a .550 batting average with 203 hits. He also led the TOTS in runs-batted-in with 143.

Joe Opocensky, Jon Beady, and Randy Livingston were also tough outs in 2024.

Opocensky played in 106 games and batted .560 with 190 hits in 339 official at-bats. He scored 95 runs and collected 115 RBI, while Beady led the club in home runs (7) and runs scored (120) while maintaining a .568 batting average with 155 hits in 268 at-bats. Livingston led the club in doubles with 36 while finishing third in hits with 153 in just 252 at-bats for a hefty .607 batting average. 

Livingston also led the TOTS pitching staff with a  24-19 record. He struck out 107 batters, walked 100 in 308 innings, and pitched in 46 games.

For the super seniors (players over the age of 75), David Byars led the way in 2024 with 117 hits in 341 at-bats, a .343 average in 111 games.

 

Way to go, TOTS!
