Arizona Wildcats hold steady in polls following road sweep

For the second straight week, the Arizona Wildcats are ranked No. 7 in the AP and USA TODAY Coaches polls, which were released Monday.

UA (22-3, 10-2 Pac-12) recovered from a Feb. 7 upset loss at Arizona State by sweeping the Washington schools on the road last weekend. The Wildcats followed up an 86-62 rout over Washington on Friday with an easy 86-59 victory at Washington State on Sunday.

Arizona is currently tied with No. 9 Utah atop the Pac-12 standings. UA defeated the Utes 69-51 in Tucson on Jan. 17, but Utah will have a chance to even the series when it hosts the Wildcats on Feb. 28.

UA returns home this week to face USC on Thursday and UCLA on Saturday. The Wildcats have yet to face either team this season.
