UConn men’s basketball remained at No. 24 in this week’s AP Poll after wins over No. 18 Marquette and St. John’s and a road loss to No. 25 Xavier. The 2-1 performance last week was good enough to keep the Huskies inside the top 25 while both of their ranked opponents, the Golden Eagles and Musketeers, dropped out.
The Huskies join No. 10 Villanova and No. 8 Providence as the three Big East teams remaining in the top 25. Marquette and Xavier fell just short, as the top two outside of the poll with 77 and 51 points respectively.
