Back-to-back NCAA Tournament champion UConn narrowly avoided falling out of the AP Top 25 college basketball poll entirely on Monday after an 0-3 week at the Maui Invitational in which it lost to three unranked teams in as many days.

The aforementioned 2017 Wildcats, who dropped out of the AP Top 25 poll early in the year, bounced back from their slow start and finished the year with a 27–8 record, only to fall to Buffalo as a No. 4 seed in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

It was the second time in AP poll history, according to ESPN Stats & Information, that AP-Top 5 teams lost at least five games in a calendar week in November (following Nov. 21-27 in 2021). Look at the rest of last week's AP Top 25 and there were more upsets and surprise results.
