The newest AP Top 25 Poll was released on Monday and Villanova dipped to #9 from their #4 spot last week. Dropping is not a surprise as the Wildcats dropped at home to Creighton, but followed that up with a victory on the road in Milwaukee against the Marquette Golden Eagles.
Arizona (20-0) and Syracuse (19-0) remain the top two teams in the country.
Fellow Big East member, Creighton, rejoins the Top 25 at #20.
