Dick Vitale remains sold on Arizona basketball, even though coach Lute Olson is no longer steering the bandwagon.

The ESPN analyst is one of only two voters who had the Wildcats on their preseason ballot for the AP Top 25 poll.

Vitale put UA at No. 23. Michael Vega of the Boston Globe rated the Wildcats 18th.

That gave Arizona 11 points, which is tied for 41st.
