The Arizona Wildcats cruised by USC Thursday and edged UCLA Saturday, improving their record to 24-3, with a 12-2 mark in the Pac-12.

For their efforts, they moved exactly nowhere in the national polls. You can thank the teams ahead of them for not losing.

Arizona remains seventh AP and USA Today Coaches Poll, trailing Kentucky, Virginia, Gonzaga, Duke, Wisconsin and Villanova.

The Wildcats currently have a one-game lead over Utah, who dropped from ninth to 13th in the AP Poll and 12th in the USA Today Poll, and a two-game cushion over Oregon in the Pac-12 race. Arizona hits the road this week for a game against Colorado Thursday and the Utes Saturday.
