Another loss for the Arizona Wildcats wasn't enough to pull the team out of the top-5 nationally. Despite a 69-66 double-overtime loss to the ASU Sun Devils on Friday, Sean Miller's team only dropped to fourth in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls.
Arizona was ranked second in the AP poll last week but in the USA Today rankings fell to third behind Syracuse and Wichita State, both of whom remain undefeated. Nonetheless, the Wildcats resume appears stronger by the day with the Duke Blue Devils and the San Diego State Aztecs rising. The Michigan Wolverines are No. 20 in both polls, and another UA opponent, the UCLA Bruins, moved into both polls this week.
The 20-5 Bruins are No. 23 in the AP Poll and No. 25 in the Coaches Poll.
