No. 16 WKU rallies to top No. 16 Miss Valley St. in the first 2012 tournament game, 59-58

March is most definitely a new season, just ask the WKU Hilltoppers. Entering the tournament with a 15-18 record, the Hilltoppers topped the Miss Valley St. Delta Devils after a furious rally in Dayton. Both teams came out flat in the first half, but the Delta Devils jumped to a double digit lead, but the Hilltoppers would come back and escape with a one point victory to force a match up with another instate school, the No. 1 seeded Kentucky Wildcats.

Coyotes snap their losing streak, beat San Jose 3-0

Both teams haven't played too well recently, but the Coyotes got an important win as they beat the traditional favorites in the Pacific division, the San Jose Sharks. After a hot February, the Coyotes turned ice cold as they lost five games in a row. On Saturday night, they got an important win by shutting out a team that has always beaten them handily. Mike Smith had 42 saves for his 5th shutout on the season. With this win, the Coyotes pull to 78 points, three more than the Sharks.

The Cats come up short against Colorado in the Tournament Finale, 53-51

It's okay Sean Miller, I'm screaming my head off too... Actually it's not okay. You know why? It's cause the Cats were given a golden opportunity to win the Pac 12 Tournament. The only problem with the opportunity was that it was Colorado gold. The Cats would go up against a team that was playing four games in four nights, a team that they had routed before, a team that was new to the Pac 12, etc. Those should help Arizona win, right? Wrong. The Buffaloes had a solid game plan against the Cats and their leaders stepped up when the Cat's leaders did not step up. The Cats were in a position to win the game, though as they played airtight defense for the last several minutes, but their offense would not take advantage. Down by two with the final possession, the Cats would opt to go for the kill, but the trey was no good. Arizona will not be able to return to March since they've wasted the many opportunities they had this year.

Cats take advantage of Oregon St., continue in the Pac-12 torney with win 72-61

The Cats were extremely fortunate as they were matched up against Oregon State. The Beavs pulled off a remarkable first round Pac 12 tourney upset by taking down the top seeded Huskies 86-84, but their run would be short lived. The Cats would initially have a 34-27 halftime deficit to work with, but they opened the second half hot on defense and offense. The Cats would pull away with the help of Foggy's 22 points. This will send Arizona into the conference tournament finale, against either Cal or Colorado.

Cats top the Bruins in the Pac-12 Tournament, 66-58

This is what I think of Ucla Basketball

The Cats went into the Staple Center at the start of the Pac 12 tourney as underdogs, since they were playing in the same arena that has served as the Bruin's den for most of the season. However, the Bruins were in for a rude awakening as the Wildcats came into the game and attacked all night long. The Cats went in and out, driving the lane and shooting the trey as Solomon Hill scored 25 points. UCLA would collect a total of 24 fouls with Joshua Smith and Travis Wear fouling out. The Cats will now wait to play either Washington or Oregon State.

Cats lose a crucial game to the rival Sun Devils, 87-80

Just look at the crowd in this picture. Take a good, long look. Now tell me, aren't there quite a few red shirts mixed into the yellow in the crowd. Yes. And those red shirts are the faithful Arizona Wildcats fans that made the trip up to Phoenix, only to see the Cats lose to their arch rival. Now after the game, ask any of the Arizona fans, who paid their hard earned money to ASU only to see the Cats lose, what they think are the Cats chances of earning an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. Slim. This is how important this game was. It was a chance to finish on a high note and let the committee decide. Instead it was an ugly loss, the kind of loss that costs you your season. As a Cats fan, I'm saying that ASU stuck a pitchfork into our hope for going to the NCAA Tournament and I do not think that this team deserves to play in the Big Dance.

Coyotes end February with an 12 game point streak, beat the Canucks, 2-1 SO

The Coyotes have a knack for making February runs. This year is no different. The Phoenix Coyotes avenged their lone loss (in OT) against the Vancouver Canucks by returning the favor on Tuesday night. The Canucks would show they were one of the NHL's best by jumping out to an early lead in the first period. However, the Coyotes would show they were one of the NHL's hottest by tying the game late. The game would then go to OT and then to a SO, where the Coyotes would win off of a Mikkel Boedker goal past Cory Schneider. This caps off one of the greatest months of hockey for a team as Phoenix earned 23 of the 24 possible points in February.
