Week 12 AP Top 25 - #19

[UCann]

Was expecting a slightly bigger drop but lots of ranked teams lost this week which helped us, plus I think we still get some respect for our brand.

The top-25 went crazy this week. Losses everywhere. Definitely helped us. Need a couple wins to creep back up.

Tbh about where we should be. Team feel more like a 20-30 team without McNeeley. 10-20 with him

One reason I’m happy we’re still ranked now and stayed ranked after the Maui swoon: as of now, we have been ranked in 50 consecutive AP polls, dating back to (I think) week 2 of 22-23.

That is the fourth-longest streak in the nation behind Houston (96), Kansas (75), and Tennessee (70).

It’s also the fourth-longest streak in UConn history. Our record streak is 68 polls between 03 and 07. So long as we right the ship these next two weeks, I think the combo of Liam coming back and how good we’re going to be in 25-26 (based on recruiting class and assuming certain people come back) could see that record fall by this time next year.

2nd E: upon further review, the site hasn’t accounted for today’s poll, so our streak is actually at 51.

Tied for most losses in the top 25. Prolly wouldn't be ranked if not for pre season rankings tbh.

No doubt we are ranked this high based on the past two seasons more than anything else. Creighton just beat us at home, has a win over Kansas, and same league record as us and they’re not even ranked. Based just on our resume we probably should be in the 25-30 range right now.

When McNeeley got hurt, I said that if UConn could stay in the Top 25 when McNeeley got back, they'll be in good shape. Still believe that.

Maybe so, but if you look at the teams under us and their resumes, they’re aren’t a lot of deserving teams.
