Arizona picked up its fourth win over a ranked opponent on Saturday night, leading to a jump to No. 5 in the latest AP poll. And right around the corner is the Pac-12 slate, which begins Dec. 31 with a visit to ASU for a game that figures to be a lot tougher than originally though.
But in between are two contests that are equally important, as the Wildcats play two pre-Christmas games at home this week.
The UA will host Montana State (7-5) on Tuesday night and then take on Morgan State (4-7) on Thursday before taking a short holiday break.
