Fueled by Pac-12 player of the week Dillon Brooks, Oregon beat Arizona on Saturday and jumped to No. 5 in the AP poll Monday.

Saturday's win over Arizona helped propel the Oregon men's basketball team to No. 5 in The Associated Press top 25 poll Monday, a jump of eight spots over the week before.

The Ducks parlayed the win over the then-No. 5 Wildcats into a top-five ranking of their own, for the first time since mid-November. Oregon was preseason No. 5 in the AP poll before rising to No. 4 after the opening week of the season, the highest ranking in school history.

Monday's appearance in the poll marked the 22nd straight AP top 25 in which the Ducks have been ranked, a new program record. The Ducks last week marked 21 straight weeks in the poll, matching a streak spanning the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons.

Also Monday, UO junior Dillon Brooks was named Pac-12 player of the week for the second time this season, and the third time in his career. Brooks had 27 points in Thursday's win over Arizona State – including the last 12 of the game for the Ducks in a 71-70 thriller – before filling it up against Arizona with 18 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals.

The fifth-ranked Oregon men (21-3, 10-1 Pac-12) are on the road this week, beginning with a battle of top-10 teams at No. 10 UCLA on Thursday (7 p.m., ESPN). The Ducks beat the then-No. 2 Bruins in Matthew Knight Arena on Dec. 28, 89-87.

The USA Today coaches' poll Monday tabbed the UO men at No. 6 in the country, up seven spots from the week before.

Oregon's win over Arizona also caught the attention of prognosticators forecasting the NCAA Tournament field. The Ducks are projected as the No. 2 seed in the West Region according to ESPN, CBS Sports and USA Today.

The Ducks have just one more homestand left this season, against the Mountain schools next week. The regular-season home finale against Colorado on Saturday, Feb. 18 is sold out, but tickets remain for Oregon's game against Utah on Thursday, Feb. 16.
