Arizona rises to No. 14 in AP Poll

The Wildcats move up three spots after taking down ASU

The Arizona Wildcats have moved up three spots in the latest AP Poll after defeating the Arizona State Sun Devils in Tempe last Thursday.

Arizona now checks in at No. 14, which is where it was ranked two weeks ago before it lost to UCLA.

ASU is no longer ranked, meaning Arizona is the only Pac-12 team in the Top 25.

Here is the full AP Top 25 in its entirety:

1. Virginia Cavaliers (42)
2. Michigan State Spartans (19)
3. Villanova Wildcats (4)
4. Xavier Musketeers
5. Duke Blue Devils
6. Texas Tech Red Raiders/Gonzaga Bulldogs
7. N/A
8. Kansas Jayhawks
9. Purdue Boilermakers
10. North Carolina Tar Heels
11. Cincinnati Bearcats
12. Auburn Tigers
13. Wichita State Shockers
14. Arizona Wildcats
15. Clemson Tigers
16. Ohio State Buckeyes
17. Michigan Wolverines
18. Rhode Island Rams
19. Tennessee Volunteers
20. Nevada Wolf Pack
21. West Virginia Mountaineers
22. Saint Mary’s Gaels
23. Houston Cougars
24. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
25. Florida State Seminoles

The Wildcats (21-6, 11-3 Pac-12) return to action Thursday when they face the Oregon State Beavers in Corvallis.

Arizona currently holds a two-game lead atop the Pac-12 with four to play. KenPom projects UA will win the conference by three games.

Last week, Arizona was officially projected as the 4-seed in the West by the NCAA Tournament selection committee.
