Arizona men’s basketball remains No. 3 in Associated Press poll

The Arizona Wildcats keep rolling, but for the time being they’ve hit a wall in terms of moving up in the polls.

The UA (16-1, 6-0 Pac-12) is No. 3 in the latest Associated Press Top 25, the same spot it held a week ago. Arizona received 1,381 total votes, up 61 from the previous week, and also earned a first-place vote from Paul Klee of the Denver Gazette.

Auburn (18-1) moved ahead of Gonzaga (15-2) for No. 1, the first time the Tigers have been ranked first in school history.

This is the UA’s 10^th consecutive week in the AP poll, which ties for the ninth-longest streak in school history. The Wildcats’ longest run being ranked is 141 weeks, from 1988-1995, which is the 11th-longest streak in poll history.

Arizona is one of three ranked Pac-12 teams, with UCLA—its opponent on Tuesday night in Los Angeles—climbing from No. 9 to No. 7 and USC moving up from No. 16 to 15. Two other teams the Wildcats have faced, Tennessee, respectively sit 18th and 24th in the latest poll.
