This has been an unusual year in college basketball, as every Division I team lost a game before January for the first time in the AP Poll era (since 1948-49).
It also hasn’t been a good season for the Pac-12 as the Arizona schools are the only ones ranked in the Top 25.
For that reason, Arizona isn’t slated to face another ranked team until Feb. 15 when it rematches ASU in Tempe.
The Wildcats (11-3) have won eight straight since dropping three straight in the Bahamas and isn’t far-fetched to believe their winning streak could reach an astronomical number because of the ease of their schedule.
ASU has the exact same schedule, so perhaps those teams will both be in the top 10 — or even top five — when they meet again.
