No. 4 Villanova shot down

So much for being the No. 4 team in the nation.

Villanova was probably feeling pretty good when the latest AP rankings came out around noon Monday. The 'Cats bumped up two spots, going from No. 4 to No. 2.

The thrill didn't last long.

Villanova had a date with No. 18 Creighton at the Wells Fargo Center. Creighton came into the contest with some gaudy stats of their own, a 15-3 record, including 5-1 in the Big East.

You can tack one onto each of those totals.

Actually it should be more like tacking on a 'three.' A ton of threes, in fact.

Creighton shot the lights out, burying Villanova under a Big East record 21 3-point field goals.

Terry Toohey has all the details.

The question now is how far the Wildcats will fall in the rankings.
