The UConn men’s basketball team came in at No. 2 in the AP Top 25 rankings released Monday for the second consecutive week. There was no movement in the Top 5, which includes No. 1 Purdue, Houston, Kansas and Arizona.
Unbeaten at 13-0, the Huskies survived their first second-half deficit of the season against Georgetown in their last game. UConn trailed by seven points around the 11-minute mark in the second half on Tuesday, its largest deficit of the season, before mounting a 23-5 scoring run and finishing the game with a 13th consecutive win by double-digits.
Joey Calcaterra, who sparked the run off the bench with 14 points in 17 minutes, was named to the Big East Honor Roll on Monday.
