UA Arizona Wildcats basketball logo OLD DO NOT USE

Arizona’s sweep of Cal and Stanford moved the Wildcats to the edge of the Top 10 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll.

The Wildcats moved from No. 14 to No. 11, while ASU slipped from No. 16 to 21. They remain the only Pac-12 teams in the Top 25, and Purdue is the only other UA opponent in it, now moving to No. 3.

Most of the metrics suggest the Wildcats are in line for a No. 4 NCAA Tournament seed as of now, and the Pac-12's top placement (meaning they would start in San Diego and stay in the West region).

UA is No. 12 in the Sagarin ratings, No. 22 in Kenpom and No. 16 in the NCAA's RPI.

Both ESPNΒ and CBS have the Wildcats as a No. 4 seed in the West in their latest bracket projections. ESPN also puts UA in first-weekend games in San Diego.
