After UConn beat Gonzaga in Seattle and Purdue and Arizona battled to the final minutes in Indianapolis, it felt like the top five teams nationally had separated themselves a bit.
Then the Huskies got dropped at Seton Hall by 15 points, and Arizona lost to Florida Atlantic in Las Vegas. How far do both squads drop?
Well, not that far.
Arizona's defeat by one point in double overtime did more to help FAU than it did to hurt the Wildcats. UConn is a more intriguing case, as the loss of Donovan Clingan for up to a month due to a foot injury completely changes the dynamic of that team.
