The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! MILWAUKEE — UConn freshman Liam McNeeley is close to returning from the high ankle sprain that has kept him from playing for the last month. Huskies coach Dan Hurley said Saturday he expects McNeeley to be available Friday when the 25th-ranked Huskies host No. “Liam will be at full strength as long as there are no setbacks,” Hurley said after UConn’s 77-69 victory at No. The two-time defending national champions produced one of their biggest wins of the season Saturday, with Solo Ball providing 25 points and 10 rebounds as UConn shot 59.5% overall and 12 of 19 on 3-pointers to offset a season-high 25 turnovers.
