After an impressive win over the UCLA Bruins, the Arizona Wildcats now find themselves at the center of the national college basketball conversation. Not surprisingly, they made a big jump up the rankings, but also hopped on up to the two-line in the bracketologies of both Sporting News and ESPN.

- The complete performance on Saturday with Allonzo Trier now also has people thinking this team is primed for a title run. As Jon Rothstein says, there is a new dawn in Tucson now that the Wildcats have Trier back. It also leads to us predicting no worse than 16-2 in conference now

- Speaking of Trier, he could be starting soon. We’ll have a lot more on him and the whole starting lineup thing in the coming days
