Adia Barnes came closer to accomplishing the rare feat of playing for a top 10 team at a school and later coaching that same program to a top 10 ranking in the AP Top 25 poll.
Arizona (21-4, 10-4 Pac-12) moved up one spot to No. 11 in the latest AP Top 25 poll released this morning.
The Wildcats are one spot from the top 10, the closest they have been since they were No. 9 in the last poll of the 1997-98 season following their Sweet 16 loss to Connecticut.
