Arizona Basketball (25-3, 14-1 Pac-12) is currently ranked 4th in the AP Top 25 as they welcome USC and UCLA into McKale Center this weekend. Ken Pomeroy, who uses an advanced analysis of college basketball to create his own rankings, has Arizona ranked 21st.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi, whose Bracketology predicts the participants and seeding for the NCAA Tournament, projects Arizona to be a two seed in the Midwest region, with Kansas being a one seed in that region. The Cats found themselves in a similar situation back in March of 2015, when they were assigned the two seed in the West and were defeated by Wisconsin in the Elite Eight for the second straight year.
