Arizona center Mo Krivas set to return for 2026-27 season
By ADAM ZAGORIA
Arizona center Mo Krivas will return for the 2026-27 season, he announced Saturday.
The 7-foot-2 Lithuanian big man averaged 10.4 points and 8.2 rebounds as a junior for a team that was ranked No. 1 in the nation and lost to Michigan in the Final Four. He was a projected late first-round NBA Draft pick.
ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla wrote on X/Twitter: “Why is Mo Krivas heading back to @ArizonaMBB? He loves the school, just played his first full season, mom’s a physician and it’s academically-oriented family. He becomes a focal point of the Wildcats’ offense & he’ll be shooting more threes next season. @Big12Conference“
