The Wildcast, Episode 49: Are the Wildcats in serious trouble amid Bahamas fallout?
Dominic Baciocco and Justin Spears try to make sense of Arizona's disaster of a trip to Paradise Island, and do some digging for the light at the end of tunnel. Beat writer Bruce Pascoe calls in to talk about those mysterious orange lawn mowers all over Atlantis, and sheds some light on the Wildcats' recent struggles. Plus, what was happening in sports and pop culture last time Arizona wasn't ranked? We bet we'll surprise you.
