UConn men’s basketball up to No. 21 in AP Poll; Karaban named Freshman of the Week

UConn men’s basketball is moving up the AP Top 25 after a chaotic week in the world of college basketball and two road wins by the Huskies. After 15 of 25 teams in last week’s AP Poll suffered at least one loss, UConn’s 2-0 week — capped by wins over DePaul and Georgetown — was enough to move the Huskies up from No. 24 to No. 21.

Even with UConn’s January slide, the Huskies remain the top team in Big East per KenPom, holding steady at No. 6 and still owning a defense and offense in the top 20 in adjusted efficiency.
