How Arizona men’s basketball looks in NCAA Tournament metrics, bracket projections

It’s been more than a week since Arizona last played, falling 77-73 at Tennessee to suffer its first loss of the season. That setback dropped the Wildcats down a few spots in the Associated Press Top 25, but in the more important rankings they’re still in great shape.

The UA remains No. 1 in the NET rankings, a metric the NCAA Selection Committee uses to select and seed teams for the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats are 74th in strength of schedule, including 53rd in nonconference games, and are 4-1 against Quadrant 1 and 2 opponents.
