The Villanova Wildcats moved up one spot in the latest AP Poll and are now the #4 team in the country. Villanova was one of just five teams from last week’s Top 10 that didn’t lose last week, staying perfect to win the Battle 4 Atlantis Championship.
Nova jumped over former #2 Arizona as they free fell completely out of the rankings, the first time a Top 2 team has fallen out of the rankings in over 30 years. Arizona, Villanova’s presumed championship opponent in the Bahamas, lost all three of their tournament games. Meanwhile, Duke is now the unanimous #1 team in the country after coming from behind to win all three of their PK80 tournament games.
