Arizona remained No. 3 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll Monday, while Auburn jumped over Gonzaga into the top spot after beating Georgia and Kentucky last week.

The Wildcats also picked up one first-place vote, by Colorado-based columnist Paul Klee.

UCLA, which will host Arizona on Tuesday at Pauley Pavilion, moved up two spots to No. 7 after beating Utah and Colorado. USC was ranked 15th and Oregon received the 32nd most points in voting.

Arizona is No. 1 in NET rankings, No. 2 in SagarinΒ and No. 2 in Kenpom.

FWIW, I moved Arizona up two spots to No. 5 on my ballot.
