An uneven week for UConn men’s basketball resulted in a two-spot drop in the AP Poll for the second straight week. The Huskies are now slotted at No. 6 after starting the week with a second straight loss against Providence, followed by a nine-point win over Creighton.
UConn peaked this year at No. 2, where it sat behind Purdue for two consecutive weeks, before the team’s first loss to then-No. 22 Xavier, which dropped it to No. 4 last week. The Huskies also did not receive any first-place votes after getting at least one over the previous four weeks.
