Don't count out Arizona just yet.Despite the retirement of Lute Olson and the defection of several players, the Arizona Wildcats are now 7-2 and own a huge win over No. 4 Gonzaga. The win was the first over a top-five team since 2001. Jordan Hill scored 22 points and Nic Wise added 21 in the 69-64 win.
How amazing is it that Arizona, a former perennial power, was the school in this game that needed a defining win over a big-time program? And how amazing is it that Gonzaga has become a legitimate big-time program? The Zags have already beaten Tennessee and Maryland and will face off against No. 2 UConn in Seattle on Saturday.
This is the third time the No. 4 ranked team has been upset by a former powerhouse turned unranked team this season. Michigan beat then-No. 4 UCLA in the 2k Sports tournament. A few weeks later, Michigan would upset then-No. 4 Duke.
