Arizona men’s basketball climbs to No. 9 in Associated Press poll

Arizona played in Fox’s first-ever primetime game from out west, and apparently the Associated Press voters were watching.

The Wildcats (8-1) have moved up one s[pt in the latest AP poll, sitting at No. 9. It marks the third consecutive week they’re in the Top 10 and the 16th time under coach Tommy Lloyd.

Arizona’s jump was aided by an 89-75 win Saturday over No. 14 Indiana in Las Vegas, its third win this season over a ranked opponent. The UA will get another on Saturday when No. 6 Tennessee (9-1) comes to McKale Center to complete a home-and-home with the Volunteers that began last season.
