Will No. 1 go down again? That's the question everyone is asking as No. 1 Kansas heads to Philadelphia to take on No. 18 Villanova on Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center.
Given how the season has unfolded to this point, one of two things will be true following Kansas vs. Villanova: The Jayhawks will establish themselves as the nation's elite team or the constant changing of the guard will continue at the AP poll's No. 1 position.

Kansas lost on opening night in a 68-66 decision to Duke at the Champions Classic but has been perfect since. Bill Self's team captured the Maui Invitational title with wins over BYU and Dayton and has also took down Colorado earlier this month.
As for Villanova, the Wildcats are still searching for their first signature win of the season. Jay Wright's squad was blasted by Ohio State last month and dropped a close one to Baylor but remains unbeaten at home.
The Villanova frontcourt will have its hands full against Kansas big man Udoka Azubuike. The preseason Big 12 player of the year is averaging 14.2 points and 8.1 rebounds per game and forms one of the nation's best guard-big duos with Devon Dotson (19.6 points per game, 4.8 assists per game). Defense has been a concern for the Wildcats to this point, and if they hope to knock off the nation's top team, keeping Azubuike and Dotson in check will be key.
