The first road sweep of the Los Angeles schools in 21 years helped Arizona women’s basketball move back up to No. 17 in the Associated Press Top 25. It was an improvement of five spots from last week and makes the Wildcats the third-best Pac-12 team in the media poll.
Arizona beat then-No. 14 UCLA in overtime on Friday night, dropping the Bruins four spots to No. 18 in this week’s poll. The Wildcats followed that with a double-overtime win over a USC team that continues to receive votes despite the loss. USC has wins over Stanford and Colorado, both of whom were ranked.
