The Arizona Wildcats took care of business last week in home games against Oregon and Oregon State, winning by scores of 90-56 and 57-34, respectively.

And for their efforts, which improved their record to 20-2 (8-1 in Pac-12), they remained sixth in both the AP and USA Today Coaches polls.

Arizona is the the highest ranked of the two Pac-12 teams in the top 25 (Utah, 13th in AP and 11th in USA Today), and trails only Kentucky, Gonzaga, Virginia, Duke and Wisconsin.

The Wildcats have just one game this week, a Saturday matinee against in-state rival Arizona State (11-11, 3-6) at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe. The teams have already met once this season, with the Wildcats winning 73-49 in Tucson.
