Arizona rises in AP poll, ranks favorably in KenPom and NET rankings

The Arizona Wildcats have moved up a spot, from 25th to 24th, in the latest AP Poll after routing the Arizona State Sun Devils on Saturday to open Pac-12 play.

It’s the first time Arizona has risen in the polls since Dec. 2 when it was coming off a Wooden Legacy championship.

Oregon dropped from No. 4 to No. 9 after splitting its Rocky Mountain road trip. Colorado, who beat the Ducks 74-65 in Boulder, moved into the Top 25 at No. 25, giving the Pac-12 three ranked squads. Washington, which surprisingly lost at home to UCLA last week, is receiving votes.
