The Villanova Wildcats took a slight stumble in the polls down to #17 after last night’s loss to St. John’s. The four spot drop is a small setback, but doesn’t put the Wildcats out of striking range for one of the coveted Top 16 overall seeds in the NCAA tournament.
Despite winning their only game against DePaul, #11 Marquette also dropped a spot in the polls after being jumped by Michigan State. St. John’s, now 3-1 against the top two teams in the Big East, jumped back into the receiving votes category.
Outside of the Big East, the big news was the change at the top of the poll.
