Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke discusses the state of Hi Corbett Field, the Wildcats baseball program under Chip Hale and more.
Michael Lev FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Dave Heeke sat in the bleachers in the sprawling Randal Tyson Track Center near the University of Arkansas campus Friday night, about an hour before first pitch. It’s across the hall from the Fowler Family Baseball and Track Training Center, which features a full-sized infield diamond. It’s across the street from Baum-Walker Stadium, which features a 1,775-square-foot video board and the 49,000-square-foot J.B.
The state of Hi Corbett was just one baseball-related topic Heeke discussed in a conversation with the Star before Arizona’s opener in the NCAA Tournament’s Fayetteville Regional — a 12-4 loss to TCU that pushed the Wildcats into the losers’ bracket. The UA’s elimination game against Santa Clara was delayed six hours because of inclement weather and scheduled to start at 6:06 p.m. Arizona time Saturday.
On the value of the Pac-12 Tournament for bubble teams like Arizona: “It was very beneficial for us and for any team that could have been in our position, the opportunity to play a few more games, to add on to what we had built up there towards the end of the year, to play high-level teams that were nationally ranked in the league and to get those wins. That helps our RPI. People are paying attention to the end of the year. Obviously, the committee's paying attention.
“You can only play so many midweek games. We don't have a lot of opportunities to play midweek games, to get on a bus, that are relatively affordable. We've got to get on airplanes go play midweek games. That’s tough. So I think there can be a very robust, productive conversation around the RPI, and I welcome that and look forward to that happening.
