Wildcats ranked 4th this week in AP Poll

Arizona Wildcats Basketball


The Arizona Wildcats basketball team moved up to fourth in the nation this week, just behind Michigan State, Kansas and Kentucky in the AP Poll.

Kentucky (4-1) has a loss, while the other top four are unbeaten. Duke (5-1) maintains sixth place behind unbeaten Oklahoma State.

That Eastern bias still raises its ugly head. Of course, a win over Drexel today and probably Duke on Friday should serve notice to all those powers-to-be who make up the rankings that Arizona should not only be in the top four, but maybe even higher.

It's possible Duke may not get by Alabama in the NIT semi-finals and it's also possible Arizona could drop their semi final game to Drexel. It wouldn't be the end of world for the teams involved if that scenario pans out, but it certainly would be nice to see our Wildcats go into the Big Apple and take care  of business.

The fact we are still in November and the Arizona Wildcats are ranked in the top five nationally is a good indication that coach Sean Miller has his troops primed for a run to the Final Four.

Good luck, Wildcats! Turn some heads in New York and come home with the trophy.
