It's a week with only one game for Arizona this week, but that doesn't mean things stop. The Wildcats will get a few practices in this week before heading to Tempe for Saturday's game. The 'Cats will head to Arizona State as the No. 6 team in the country once again after picking up two wins last week over the Oregon schools.

* Arizona remained in its spot at No. 6 in both the Associated Press top 25 poll as well as the coaches poll today. Gonzaga moved up to No. 2 in the country jumping over Virginia in both polls and even received a first-place vote in the coaches poll. The 'Cats will need to continue winning to secure the 1-seed out West and they do have the advantage of beating Gonzaga earlier this season.

Utah is No. 11 in the coaches poll and No. 13 in the AP poll this week, but the Pac-12 doesn't have any more representatives beyond that.

* The US roster for the Nike Hoop Summit that will take place later this spring was announced today, and as you would expect Arizona will be represented in the game. Five-star shooting guard Allonzo Trier will represent the United States in the event that is set to take place April 11 in Portland.

Trier will be joined by a host of other top prospects on the US team along with the likes of Stephen Zimmerman and Ivan Rabb - also Arizona targets. In all 11 players made the team and that group will square off with the World Select team that will have its roster announced in March.

Stanley Johnson started for the US team in the 2014 Hoop Summit and he scored seven points and had four rebounds in the victory for the team.
