Arizona went unranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll, though the Wildcats picked up the 33rd most points in voting.
The Wildcats only played one game, their first-round Pac-12 Tournament win over Washington, between the March 9 poll and the season-ending poll that was released Wednesday.
Arizona was ranked No. 21 in the preseason, then rose as high as No. 12 after the Wildcats won the Wooden Legacy. They moved in and out of the poll during most of the Pac-12 season before dropping out for good on Feb. 24 after losing at home to Oregon.
The Ducks, at No. 13, were the only Pac-12 team ranked in the final poll, though USC, UCLA and Utah each received at least one vote.
UA coach Sean Miller's contract stipulates a $20,000 bonus if the Wildcats finish ranked between 11-15 and $30,000 if they are in the Top 10.
FWIW, I didn't rank Arizona in the preseason poll nor in the final one. Here's the final ballot I sent the AP:
1 Kansas
2 Gonzaga
3 Dayton
4 Baylor
5 San Diego State
6 Florida State

20 Houston
21 Ohio State
