I was slightly surprised UConn was in the AP poll still when I saw that Fanta had not ranked them in his poll:
This likely equates to a 6 or even 7 seed, which is not what you want. UConn has to beat DePaul Wednesday, get McNeely back, and then beat Marquette. More Quad 1 wins are needed and St. John's and Marquette are the teams UConn will need to beat.
