Winners of their last six straight, including their first four Pac-12 contests, Arizona deserves the spot at the top for the time being. No, the Wildcats haven’t played the toughest schedule thus far but the emergence of Duke transfer Chase Jeter into the player that everyone believed he could be has really changed things for Sean Miller and company in Tucson.
Since their lost to Virginia Tech back on December 15th, the Huskies have not only gone a full calendar month without losing, but also have looked like a much more focused and mature group. Depth could become an issue for this group in the long-term, as Washington relies on only about seven key players but in the wild Pac-12 this season, you just have to pick your battles.
