For the first time this season, UConn men’s basketball is not ranked in the AP Top 25. The Huskies dropped out of the poll after Saturday’s loss at home to Providence in their Big East opener, but UConn did receive 55 votes, trailing just Oklahoma and West Virginia on the outside looking in. KenPom currently has the Huskies at No. 26 overall.
The Big East currently has four teams ranked, with Seton Hall the highest at No. 15. Xavier (No. 18), Providence (No. 22) and Villanova (No. 23) round out the conference’s poll presence, while Creighton received a pair of votes as well.
