UConn men’s basketball won the only game they played last week, surviving a late scare from Seton Hall for what was an otherwise comfortable 64-55 win at Gampel Pavilion. The Huskies now sit at 20-7 overall and 9-7 in the Big East, and moved up to No. 18 in this week’s AP Poll. UConn also remains No. 6 in KenPom, a position they have held firmly for over a month now.
The Huskies join fellow conference mates Marquette (No. 10), Xavier (No. 17), Creighton (No. 19) and Providence (No. 20) in the Top 25, with the Big East and Big 12 as the only conferences with five teams ranked.
