The Runnin' Utes remained at No. 13 in the latest AP top 25 Monday after losing a physical game to Arizona Saturday night.

The Wildcats, who left Salt Lake City with the 63-57 win and the top spot in the Pac-12, moved up to No. 5 in the latest poll.

The Utes will take their final road trip of the season this week ahead of the Pac-12 tournament, facing Washington State on Thursday and Washington on Saturday.

BYU received 21 votes this week after upsetting Gonzaga on the road, but didn't crack the top 25 list.
