With the Oregon Ducks losing to the UCLA Bruins on Thursday night, the Arizona Wildcats have retaken first place in the Pac-12 as they get set to host the California Golden Bears on Saturday night.
But the ninth-ranked Wildcats (22-3, 11-1 Pac-12) have not been playing like a first-place team lately.
Since knocking off UCLA on Jan. 21, Arizona has strung together five relatively unimpressive performances.
The Wildcats are 4-1 during that stretch, but their loss was by 27 points to the Ducks, and their four wins against four of the worst teams in the conference in Washington State, Washington, Oregon State, and Stanford.
