After climbing back to its highest ranking of the season, Arizona has been knocked down a few more rungs after losing at Stanford over the weekend.
The Wildcats (22-4, 11-4 Pac-12) dropped four spots to No. 8 in the latest Associated Press Top 25, but remained in the Top 10 for the 10th time in 15 rankings. They were a Top-10 team in 14 polls a season ago.
Arizona’s 88-79 loss at Stanford, combined with UCLA pulling off a road sweep of the Oregon schools, not only moved the Bruins (21-4, 12-2) two games up on the UA in the Pac-12 standings but also moved them back ahead in the poll.
