The Huskies entered Monday night’s contest in Chicago riding high, as they checked into the AP Poll for the first time since October 31st, 2016 this Monday afternoon at #25.
Even with the excitement from Husky fans over their team’s long-anticipated return to the vaunted AP Poll Top 25, DePaul was certainly not ready to roll out the red carpet for them. The Blue Demons, who lost by 20+ to UConn just over two weeks ago, played as tough as could be throughout the entire game. Although their effort and the Huskies’ sloppy play combined for a close game down the stretch, UConn eventually pulled away with the 60-53 win.
