Arizona figures to climb further in the Associated Press Top 25 when the new poll is released on Monday, thanks to the Wildcats’ two wins and a combined five losses by teams above them in the current rankings.
UA coach Tommy Lloyd isn’t nearly as thrilled as some fans figure to be about the Wildcats moving into the Top 5 for the first time in more than 4 years. In fact, it might be the worst thing for his team right now.
“As Nick Saban would say, rat poison,” Lloyd said after Arizona’s 82-64 home win over Utah on Saturday night.
