Arizona on the Charts

Week 13 in college basketball has turned out to be one to remember for UofA- we're now in the top 25! According to the AP, Arizona is currently ranked 21st in the league with an 18-4 record (tied for best in the Pac-10). This is the best my Wildcats have been in a long time. It's exciting to see the post Lute Olson team find success, it's much deserved.

This will also make my March Madness brackets way better if Arizona keeps playing well (as long as there is no repeat of the 2001 finals against Duke- don't know if I could handle that again).

Arizona has had a history for breeding great players, taking a look back at all the UofA players who are currently in the NBA... and doing well. Luke Walton (LA Lakers), Gilbert Arenas (Orlando Magic), Channing Frye (Phoenix Suns) and Richard Jefferson (San Antonio Spurs) to name a  few. So what if Gilbert pretended to be hurt to let his rookie buddy get more playing time.

Bear Down, Arizona!
