After losing to Oregon State, Oregon dropped out of the Associated Press Top 25 Monday while Arizona picked up a handful of voting points following its win at ASU.
UCLA (23) is now the Pac-12's only ranked team, actually rising a spot from 24 despite losing to Stanford probably because many other teams in the 15-25 range also had losses.
Several other Pac-12 teams received votes: Colorado received the 28th most points of conference teams outside the Top 25, while USC was 29 and Oregon was tied with Oklahoma State for No. 30.Β
Arizona's four points tied it with Toledo for the 42nd overall spot.
In the major metrics, the Wildcats are ranked 27 in Kenpom, 32 in the NET, 36 in ESPN's BPI and 42 in Sagarin.
Washington's Jamal Bey was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week after leading the Huskies to a sweep of Utah and Colorado, while USC's Evan Mobley picked up his fourth Freshman of the Week honor.
Arizona had nominated James Akinjo for Pac-12 Player of the Week and Dalen Terry (not Azuolas Tubelis, who struggled early before his late-game heroics at ASU) for Freshman of the Week.
Bey averaged 21.0 points on 79.0% shooting while other candidates included Oregon State's Ethan Thompson, who averaged 16.0 points in the Beavers' wins over USC and Oregon, and Stanford's Oscar da Silva, who had 26 points including the game-winning bucket in the Cardinal's win over UCLA.
Akinjo had 24 points on 8-for-17 shooting in UA's win at ASU. Terry had 13 points while going 3 for 3 from 3-point range, and four rebounds.
