The NCAA men’s basketball rankings are out for the week and for the second straight week, the UConn Huskies are not ranked.
After being among the others receiving votes in the AP Poll last week, this week they have dropped out. They are there though in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll having received six votes.
The Kentucky Wildcats remain as the No. 1 team in both polls and are followed by the Syracuse Orange, The Ohio State Buckeyes, Missouri Tigers and North Carolina Tar Heels in both as well.
Joining the Orange in the top 25 from the Big East are the Georgetown Hoyas (12/11), Marquette Golden Eagles (18/19) and Louisville Cardinals (24/23).
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish is the only team from the Big East among the others receiving votes in both polls.
