I still find it mind-blowing that Arizona is in front of Providence in both of these polls, but it is what it is.

The Pac-12 did not have a great weekend, as Oregon and Utah both fell out of the rankings. UCLA is surging though, with wins over Kentucky and Gonzaga this year.

Arizona's strength of schedule has taken a bit of a hit, as Gonzaga continues to struggle, and UNLV lost to Wichita State to drop them a bit. The Rebels were on the verge of being ranked last week. No more.

The Wildcats are back in action again on Wednesday night at 8 PM, as the in-state rival NAU Lumberjacks come down to Tucson.
