One of my many pet peeves, when coaching one of my mantras is when you step between the lines, FORGET RECORDS.
A team is as good or bad as they play that day, not remotely dictated by the way they played before that.
Gtown came to play, took the game as an opportunity, not a mail it in trip. They played hard, were active on defense, ball hawked all game, played very physical. They shot pretty well from 3. They probably had one of their better in conference games, although that is pure speculation.
The entire Uconn team was off, probably played their worst game of the year. As Husky Nan has pointed out, this is the time of year these things frequently happen, the “dog days” of basketball, to steal a baseball phrase. 
You win and move on. And I for one, think concerning oneself with rankings is just for bar talk. Like every year, Uconn will get their opportunity to define how good they are the only place it counts, on the court. The rising and falling emotionally, game to game, quarter to quarter, play to play, of many fans is rather silly IMO.
