As a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, Arizona is considered one of the eight best teams in the country. And its AP ranking matches that assessment.
The Wildcats remained No. 8 in the final regular season AP poll, the same spot they’d held the previous two weeks. It’s the eighth poll in a row they’ve been in the Top 10 and 14th this season.
Despite beating UCLA in the Pac-12 final, Arizona (28-6) is still behind the Bruins (29-5) who sit at No. 7, and it is one spot ahead of Gonzaga (28-5).
