3. Villanova Wildcats

Previous ranking: 3

Record: 18-1 (6-1 Big East)

The Wildcats remain steady in our top 25 after beating Xavier at home and St. John’s on the road. Villanova crushed Seton Hall by 30 on Monday to bounce back from a shaky performance against the Johnnies.

Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins each scored 20 points in the important domination game against Xavier. Their one-two punch should give Nova fans hope of a repeat National Championship. Add in solid contributions from players like Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Darryl Reynolds and you’ve got a real Final Four contender.
