The Los Angeles Wildcats are a flagship West Division franchise, best known for their 2012 Big 12 Championship, consistent contention, and long-tenured leadership of GM Liz Bautch. LA burst onto the scene in 2012 at 10–4, won the West, and swept through the postseason—beating Cleveland and Brooklyn before defeating Tucson 85–68 to claim the inaugural title. They remained dangerous through 2013–2014, reaching consecutive semifinals.
A downturn followed from 2015–2018, including seasons under Pete Jerving (2017–2018) where LA hovered around .500 and missed the playoffs. The franchise pivoted in 2019 under DeMario Suggs, surging to 9–4, capturing the division, and suffering a brutal 116–115 semifinal exit to Miami—a one-point heartbreaker that reignited the club’s edge.
After the 2020 hiatus, Bautch returned and engineered a second prime. LA went 10–4 in 2021, won the West, routed Miami 185–54, edged Philadelphia 144–142, and finished runner-up to Brooklyn in the Big 12 Championship. The apex came in 2022 at 12–2 with another division title and GM of the Year for Bautch, though Tucson ended the run in the semifinals. Consistency continued in 2023–2024, with LA posting 9–5 and 10–4 marks; the 2024 team claimed its fifth division crown and detonated 230 points in a first-round win over Cleveland before bowing out to Chicago in the semifinals.
Across more than a decade, the Wildcats have compiled five division titles (2012, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024), two Big 12 Championship appearances, and the league’s first crown—maintaining perennial contender status through multiple eras and GM changes.
