Arizona basketball drops to No. 4 in AP poll after Kansas, Texas Tech losses

Arizona basketball began last week as the only undefeated Power Four program in the country. Now, the Wildcats have two losses and are waiting to hear back on the status of standout freshman Koa Peat. Fortunes have quickly changed in Tucson, and the latest AP Poll reflects as much. Tommy Lloyd’s team falls from No. 1 to No. 4 in the top-25 rankings.

Arizona lost on the road to a Kansas squad that was without potential No. 1 pick Darryn Peterson on Monday and then dropped a tough one in overtime to Texas Tech on Saturday. Allen Fieldhouse is one of the rowdiest environments in the sport, and the Red Raiders are capable and incredibly resilient, so these recent setbacks should not significantly threaten the Wildcats’ legitimacy. The Peat news could be a different story, however.
