WASHINGTON - The Big East can boast of the No. 1 team in the country again and the Friars will get a chance at slaying the giant on Saturday.
Villanova returned to the top of The Associated Press Top 25 poll on Monday. Kansas is the top team in the coaches poll. Villanova was No. 1 for five weeks earlier this season before losing at Butler and falling to third for one week.
The defending national champion Wildcats (18-1) host the Friars on Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. That's good news for PC because no one seems to be able to win at the Wildcats' on-campus arena, the Pavilion, where 'Nova has won 47 in a row.
