UConn men’s basketball took care of business last week and was rewarded for it, moving up one spot in this week’s AP Top 25 Poll to No. 23. The Huskies, who were ranked No. 24 in the Preseason Poll, easily dispatched CCSU and Coppin State to get off to a 2-0 start. UConn remains ranked No. 21 in the country according to KenPom.
Through two games, albeit against some of the worst teams in Division I, the Huskies have surrendered just 105 total points. Last week, UConn used its size, talent and athleticism advantages to beat the Blue Devils and Eagles wire-to-wire — something that couldn't always be said about UConn teams in past years.
