It took Gonzaga until the regular-season finale to finally taste defeat, and that means Kansas slides back into the top overall spot. Both the Zags and Villanova dropped home games, but each has done enough to remain in the top three for now.
Butler didn't just go into Philly and take down Villanova; the Bulldogs also dropped Xavier in Cincinnati and moved up six spots. Chris Holtmann's team continues to surprise, but it's also difficult to figure out at times.
After steadily climbing in recent weeks, Duke fell again -- after losses to Syracuse and Miami. Two teams that cracked the Power Rankings this week are Minnesota and Iowa State, while USC and Maryland fell out.

Bronson Koenig became the school's all-time leader for 3s, but that might have been the lone highlight of a week that saw the Badgers lose at Ohio State and on the road to Michigan State.
22. Cincinnati Bearcats
Record: 25-4
Last week's ranking: 19
With the Bearcats' loss at UCF on Sunday, Mick Cronin's team will likely finish second to SMU in the American.
