OFF THE TOP
Arizona re-entered the Top 25 polls this week, checking in at No. 23, after completing the first weekend road sweep by a Pac-12 team this season. UA leads all Pac-12 schools with 14 road sweeps in the Pac-12 Era.

Arizona ranks EIGHTH in the latest NET ranking (best in Pac-12) and a strength of schedule that ranks No. 2. 

UA is scoring 80.0 points per game this season, the 17th-most in the country this season and tops in the Pac-12. The Wildcats are also out-scoring teams by an average of 14.1 points per game, the seventh-best margin in the country. The scoring margin is 7.89 in conference play (2nd in Pac-12).

The Wildcats average of 16.1 assists per game ranks 21st nationally and the 1.41-to-1 assist/turnover ratio is ninth in the country. Arizona has only turned the ball over six times in each of the last two games.

The freshman trio of Zeke Nnaji (358), Nico Mannion (318) and Josh Green (263) are the top scoring freshman trio in the country.

Nnaji is shooting 61.4 percent from the floor this year (15th nationally). He enters today's game having posted a double-double in eight of his last 11 games and has 10 for the season to lead the Pac-12. That total also ranks fifth all-time among Arizona freshmen. The three-time Pac-12 Freshman of the Week dropped 18p, 11r against USC on Thursday. 

Mannion is second in the Pac-12 with 126 assists this season. His 5.7 assists per game are second in the Pac-12. He is just the eighth UA freshman to register 100 assists in a season, and needs five more to pass Luke Walton for fifth on the UA freshman assist list. Against USC, he dropped 20 points and dished out seven assists. He is also averaging 4.5r in his last six games after averaging 2.0 over the first 15 games.

Freshman Josh Green broke out of a slump with 18 points and four rebounds against USC. He leads the team with 35 steals and ranks seventh in the Pac-12 in steals/game (1.6). 
Since being inserted into the starting lineup the last five games, graduate transfer Stone Gettings has averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and shot 61.0 percent. He logged his first double-double of the season with 19p, 12r at Washington State and had 12p, 8r against USC on Thursday.

Redshirt sophomore Jemarl Baker Jr. has played 121 consecutive minutes without committing a turnover, and he has 18 assists in that time period.

UA attempted 40 free throws against USC, the most since shooting 44 against Colorado on March 10, 2016.
