AP Men's Basketball Poll, Feb. 13: Two Pac-12 teams remain in latest Top 25
The AP Men’s Basketball Poll got a fresh update on Monday after a week that saw No. 1, No. 4, and No. 6 go down.
With the Wildcats falling to Stanford on Saturday, UCLA and Arizona swapped again in the latest media poll.
The Bruins rose up to No. 4 in the country, marking a seventh consecutive week inside the AP Top 10 and the second time this season they’ve cracked the top five. The fourth-place ranking is also a season-high.
UCLA went through the state of Oregon last week, blasting Oregon State on Thursday, 62-47, and then handling an upset-minded Oregon team on Saturday 70-63 to win its fourth straight.
Arizona, which fell from No. 4 to No. 8, saw its seven-game winning streak snapped in Palo Alto on Saturday. Stanford, which shot 61% from the field for the game, held Pac-12 Player of the Year frontrunner Azuolas Tubelis to just four points and handed Arizona its fourth loss of the season, 88-79.
The Wildcats host Utah and Colorado this week. UCLA plays host to Stanford and Cal.
