After winning five of their last six overall, Arizona suddenly finds themselves sitting a half-game back of Pac-12 leaders Colorado and Oregon in the conference standings.
The Wildcats have begun to fulfill their preseason expectations and have morphed into one of the more dangerous teams in the Conference of Champions. Sean Miller’s boys rank in the Top 40 nationally in points and assists per game and are defending at a high-level.
