UConn women’s basketball fell to No. 7 in the latest AP Poll, the team’s lowest ranking since week 12 of the 2006-07 season. The Huskies went 1-1 in the last week, dropping a 57-44 decision to Georgia Tech before recovering with a 71-61 win over UCLA in their first two games since Paige Bueckers’ injury.
Along with the sophomore’s absence, UConn also played without Azzi Fudd (foot), Aubrey Griffin (ankle/leg/back) and Nika Mühl (foot) due to injuries.
The Huskies had one of their worst performances in recent memory against the Yellow Jackets as they failed to make a field goal for 11:11 from late in the third into the fourth quarters and had more turnovers (six) than points (five) in the final 10 minutes.
