What a weekend
Arizona is a good team. I'm not editorializing here; that is straight from Oregon head coach Ernie Kent after the Wildcats defeated his Oregon Ducks 77-74 Saturday. Arizona is a good team.
In case you are still skeptical, here's a little perspective:
14 teams have gone into Oregon's McArthur Court and lost - that includes UCLA. Only two teams have won: USC and Arizona.
Arizona has not lost to a team lower than 44 in kenpom.com's Ratings Percentage Index (North Carolina-1, UCLA-2, Oregon-20, Washington State-28, Virginia-31, USC-44).
Arizona has 5 wins over teams in the RPI top-50 (Memphis-8, UNLV-10, Oregon-20, Stanford-35, Illinois-42).
The tournament resume to-date is strong, but at least three tough games remain. Arizona hosts USC (AP 19) and UCLA (AP 2) before going on the road to face ASU, Cal and Stanford (AP 25).
This season is really starting to get interesting.
