Arizona isn't really in their class

Huh? Arizona is the better team, no? I know, I know, Kansas is ranked #4, but come on, Arizona is the better team.

No, they aren't, at least not right now. Budinger is better than anyone Kansas has, but Bayless and Wise are turning it over an awful lot and McClellan's only been in double figures once against four D1 opponents.
I don't think Kansas deserves it's number four ranking, but I'd rather cast my lot with Rush and Chalmers and Arthur and Collins and Robinson and Jackson and Kaun.
Maybe "not in their class" made it sound too harsh, because I do think Arizona is a bit underrated right now and KU a bit overrated. But while the pieces might be there for Arizona, they have a lot of sorting out to do.
Real impressive performance from USC tonight. 180 degree turnaround from the first two games in that Anaheim tournament. You don't see SIU get knocked on their ass like that very often.
