Wildcats gaining confidence after rocky start
TUCSON All of a sudden Arizona has momentum.
Along with it has come a swagger. It has a confidence that wasn't there just a month ago, clearly wasn't there two months ago.

Defense at heart of Wildcats' success
TUCSON Hope is where the heart is.
And right now Arizonas hope of finishing strong and maybe, just maybe, getting a shot at the NCAA tournament will come from its defense.
It's on that end of the court where the Wildcats have consistently shown the most heart throughout an up-and-down season, and especially in last week's sweep at California and Stanford.
