Villanova finished last year No. 1, cutting down the nets in Houston as the national champions. Just in time for a showdown with Seton Hall, the Wildcats are back to No. 1 in the AP Top 25.
Seton Hall and Villanova will face off on Monday for the first time since the Pirates took down the eventual NCAA Tournament champions in the Big East Tournament final last season, with the Pirates looking to bounce back on a rough road trip.
The poll, which was released Monday, has the Wildcats back at the top once again.
