Gary Parrish of CBS Sports and Jeff Borzello of ESPN both elevated Arizona to first in their power rankings on Thursday morning. Arizona earned its third win over a ranked team in its first five games with a 71-67 win at third-ranked Connecticut on Wednesday night.
Arizona previously defeated defending national champion and preseason number three Florida 93-87 in the season opener in Las Vegas, UCLA 69-65 in Inglewood, California, on Friday, in addition to victories over Utah Tech and Northern Arizona.
Parrish moved Arizona up four spots after the win at Connecticut.
