UConn Hanging in AP Poll at #25

[KhalidShockedTheWorld]

I was slightly surprised UConn was in the AP poll still when I saw that Fanta had not ranked them in his poll:

Auburn tops men's AP poll; UConn drops to 25

Auburn and Duke remain at the top of the AP men's Top 25 hoops poll, while Texas Tech and Vanderbilt make their poll debuts and UConn clings to the No. 25 spot.

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.

It's a big week - Marquette at St. John's tonight. Very interesting matchup. Then UConn hosts St. John's Friday in Ben Gordon Night. Big week for all of these teams!
