While meeting with reporters on Thursday, head coach Tommy Lloyd announced Caleb Love will be at McKale Center on Saturday to be inducted into the Arizona Ring of Honor. Arizona hosts ESPN College Gameday on Saturday morning and plays Texas Tech that afternoon.
Love received multiple All-American honors during the 2023-24 season. The 17.6 points per game Love averaged in his two seasons with Arizona are the ninth-best in program history. Love set an Arizona record by scoring 35 points in a 100-93 loss to Duke in the 2025 NCAA Tournament East Regional Semifinals.
In his final season in 2024-25, Love was named First Team All-Big 12 and one of five finalists for the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award. Love saved his best for last. In three 2025 NCAA Tournament games, Love averaged 24.7 PPG, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 52.1 percent and making 12-22 three-point attempts.
Love earned his spot in the Arizona Ring of Honor by being named the 2024 Pac-12 Player of the Year. Lloyd stated that Love has a special place in his heart and the Ring of Honor induction, being on Valentine's Day, means a lot. The ceremony will occur at halftime.
