Arizona closed out its nonconference season with two lopsided wins and has been stellar since the start of its first season Big 12 season. The Wildcats pulled out road wins against Cincinnati and West Virginia — both ranked at the time — and stretched their winning streak to seven games with Tuesday's 81-70 win over No. 25 Baylor.
