It’s a nice view from the top. But how long will it last?

The Arizona Wildcats have moved to No. 1 in the NET rankings, a metric the NCAA uses to help pick and seed the NCAA Tournament, after Wednesday’s 94-65 blowout win over previously unbeaten Wyoming.

The UA was third in the initial NET rankings released last weekend while Wyoming, which had been 12th, dropped to No. 18. The Cowboys’ current ranking is still good enough to give the Wildcats their first Quadrant 1 win of the season.
