After another double digit victory over a Pac-12 opponent, the Runnin' Utes rose two spots in the AP Top 25 Monday to No. 9.

Utah, now 20-4 overall and 10-2 in conference play, cruised past Cal Sunday night in a 76-61 victory and appears poised to win out, setting the scene for a titanic matchup with No. 7 Arizona on Feb. 28.

Arizona, which scored a 86-59 win over Washington State Sunday, stayed at No. 7 in the rankings this week.
