UConn men’s basketball continues to ascend up the AP Poll as its bounces back from the January slide, finishing the month of February at No. 14 in the latest top 25 poll. The Huskies (22-7, 11-7 Big East) tied for the highest riser in the poll this week with their four-spot jump, joining conference mate Marquette as well as San Diego State.
After soundly defeating then-No. 20 Providence at home last Wednesday, then doing in the same in a de facto home game against St. John’s at Madison Square Garden, UConn finished the month of February 5-1 and are winners of six of its last seven.
