UConn tops the AP poll unanimously

UConn became the first basketball program to unanimously retain the top seed in the Associated Press men's college basketball poll this season. The Huskies remain at the top for the sixth consecutive week, even after the disastrous encounter with Creighton.

The panel of national media members unanimously awarded them all 62 first-place votes, reclaiming the 16 first-place votes that Purdue lost after their defeat to Ohio State.

Dan Hurley, the Huskies head coach, spoke to the media after the loss:

"All we can control is taking a championship approach to the next game."

Despite the defeat, Uconn has some impressive stats to talk about. While it is over now, they do own the longest winning streak of the season at 14 games, and this is the longest streak ever by a Division 1 team. We will see if the Huskies can rebound quickly from this disappointment.
