CommentLOS ANGELES -- Channing Frye and Salim Stoudamire are in the NBA now. A big blow for Arizona, to be sure, but don't assume the Wildcats are in rebuilding mode this season.
They return 10 lettermen and were picked to repeat as Pac-10 champions by the media Tuesday.

"We have the best depth we've ever had," coach Lute Olson said, describing the selection as "a testament to the program through the years."
The Wildcats totaled 325 points and 23 first-place votes by media covering the conference. Stanford was second with 294 points and nine first-place votes. UCLA was third with 263 points and two first-place votes.

Arizona has won or shared the conference title 11 times in Olson's 22 seasons in Tucson. The Wildcats finished a game in front of second-place Washington last season. The Huskies, who won the Pac-10 tournament, are picked fourth this season.
Arizona senior Hassan Adams will be counted on to provide leadership along with his ability to play three positions -- shooting guard, small forward and power forward.
