The Wildcats are gaining on the Wildcats.

Arizona and Kentucky were 1-2 in the Associated Press men’s rankings for the fourth straight week Monday, but the gap narrowed with one more poll remaining this season.

Arizona (25-2), the regular-season champions of the Pacific-10 Conference, received 51 first-place votes and 1,779 points from the national media panel. Kentucky (26-3), which finished unbeaten in winning the Southeastern Conference, was No. 1 on 21 ballots and had 1,749 points.

Texas moved up one place to third. Kansas University and Pittsburgh improved two places to fourth and fifth.
