UConn men’s hoops moved up to No. 21 in this week’s AP Poll after beating Seton Hall and Xavier at Gampel Pavilion. Those wins helped the Huskies get back on track after they lost three of four and were on the cusp of dropping from the poll.
Sophomore big man Adama Sanogo averaged 17.5 points and 12.5 rebounds during this stretch. He committed only one foul in each game and earned a Big East weekly honor roll nod as well.
Villanova moved up two spots in the AP Poll to No. 8. They have won five straight and eight out of their last nine.
