Purdue took down last week&#8217;s No. 1 Arizona, 92-84 on Saturday, and reclaimed the top spot with Kansas holding off Indiana on the road to stay at No. 2. Unbeaten Houston (11-0) moved up to No. 3 and Arizona dropped three spots to No. 4.<\/p>\n<p>It is the Huskies&#8217; sixth consecutive week ranked in the AP top five and third week in a row at No. 5.<\/p>\n<p>UConn enters Big East play also ranked No. 5 in the NCAA&#8217;s NET rankings behind 10-1 BYU.<\/p>\n<p>The Huskies are the highest-ranked Big East team in the poll with Marquette (9-2) just behind at No. 6. Creighton dropped four spots to No. 12 after losing to UNLV and beating Alabama, 85-82, and Providence (9-2) received votes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"cMOgChwEPA\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courant.com\/2023\/12\/16\/defense-to-secure-win-over-gonzaga-provides-momentum-as-uconn-men-pivot-focus-to-big-east-play\/\">Defense providing momentum for UConn men as they prepare for Big East play<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"&#8220;Defense providing momentum for UConn men as they prepare for Big East play&#8221; &#8212; Hartford Courant\" src=\"https:\/\/www.courant.com\/2023\/12\/16\/defense-to-secure-win-over-gonzaga-provides-momentum-as-uconn-men-pivot-focus-to-big-east-play\/embed\/#?secret=mkSf7p76cj%23?secret=cMOgChwEPA\" data-secret=\"cMOgChwEPA\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Previous opponent North Carolina dropped to No. 11 after a loss to Kentucky and Texas held at No. 19.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most of those (big nonconference) games were away from Storrs, two of them were in road environments, I feel like that&#8217;s gonna help us a lot going into the Big East because going on the road at Creighton, Marquette, Xavier \u2013 those places can get brutal and I feel like we&#8217;re well prepared for it,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/uconnhuskies.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/hassan-diarra\/13277\">Hassan Diarra<\/a>, who will play a critical role as UConn&#8217;s defensive-minded, veteran guard off the bench.<\/p>\n<p>The Huskies&#8217; Big East Player of the Week drought continued despite a 21-point, eight rebound performance against Gonzaga in Seattle that landed sophomore center <a href=\"https:\/\/uconnhuskies.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/donovan-clingan\/13276\">Donovan Clingan<\/a> his first appearance this season on the conference&#8217;s honor roll. Making 8 of 11 shots from the field and looking as healthy as he has all season, Clingan added three assists and two blocks.<\/p>\n<p>There has been a Husky on the honor roll each week this season with Tristen Newton appearing three times and Alex Karaban twice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We played the top teams in the country, so playing those teams and now going and playing in the best league in the country, I feel like it&#8217;s giving us good momentum,&#8221; Clingan said after Friday&#8217;s win. &#8220;But, like Coach (Dan Hurley) has said, like we&#8217;re all saying, the new season starts Wednesday and we gotta give everything we&#8217;ve got every day because the Big East is a battle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>UConn begins conference play at Seton Hall, where it collapsed in the second half and lost on a last-second shot last January without Hurley and associate head coach Kimani Young, who each missed the game after coming down with Covid.<\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation
