UConn men’s basketball heads into the Big East Tournament this week at Madison Square Garden playing some of their best basketball of the entire season. The Huskies absolutely smoked DePaul at home last Wednesday and easily handled a feisty Villanova team on the road Saturday evening, handing the Wildcats their first double-digit home loss since 2020.
With two wins in the past week, both in convincing fashion, the AP Poll voters took note and bumped UConn up to No. 11 in the final poll before conference tournament play. The Huskies have also moved up in KenPom to No.
