But, a loss? Probably doesn’t move much for the Wildcats. With Villanova sitting at No. 14 in the second top 16 early reveal, and moving up to No. 10 in the AP poll this week, the ‘Cats should have a strong enough resume to maintain their current position.After Monday night, there are just two teams from the top 16 that still have their conference tournaments to play. Barring any crazy upsets by teams 17 through 25, it appears that the hosts could be locked in for this year’s tournament.
“It makes you feel a little better,” Siegrist said. “This is gonna sting. Stings tonight, stings tomorrow and then you gotta move on and get ready for the next game.”Siegrist led Villanova with 22 points and nine rebounds.
