The Associated Press has released their Men’s Basketball Top 25 Poll for the seventh week of the 2016-17 season and the Villanova Wildcats remain at the top spot for the third consecutive week.
Jay Wright’s squad collected 56 of 65 first place votes as the Wildcats (11-0) defeated the Temple Owls by 21 in a one-game week as the student athletes prepared for semester exams. The victory marked a sweep of the Philadelphia Big 5 for the fourth straight year; a feat that had never been accomplished previously.
UCLA, Kansas, Baylor, and Duke round out the top 5.
