The Huskies (17-8, 9-5 Big East) are out of the AP Top 25 for the second straight week after starting the season at No. 3. UConn entered Monday fourth in the Big East, but its positioning would be better if not for a 69-68 overtime loss to the Pirates, the worst team in the league.
Villanova (15-11, 8-7) can relate to UConn's inconsistency. The Wildcats need a strong finish to avoid a third straight season out of the NCAA Tournament, starting with a reprise of its 68-66 win over the Huskies last month.
The Wildcats won three straight, culminating in its 73-71 home win over then-No. 9 St. John's on Wednesday, but dropped a 75-62 decision at Providence on Saturday night. Villanova matched its widest margin of defeat and a season worst of 14 3s allowed.

For Oklahoma and No. 2 Florida, much has changed since New Year's Day when both teams were 13-0.
While the Sooners have lost nine of their last 12, the Gators have won nine of their last 12, including two upsets of No. 1-ranked teams.
Tuesday night, when Oklahoma visits Florida at Gainesville, Fla., the stakes for the teams are vastly different as they consider the postseason implications.
A victory by the Sooners (16-9, 3-9 Southeastern Conference) would enhance their claim to an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, the Gators (22-3, 9-3) are trying to avoid a resume blemish which could damage their prospect of gaining a No. 1 seed.
Oklahoma is reeling after blowing a five-point lead in the final 35 seconds of an 82-79 loss at home to LSU, which had lost its previous seven games.
The Sooners have lost their last four games. The average margin of the first three losses in the skid, each to a ranked team, was 23.3 points.

Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley said his team has reached a "premium frustration level" with a five-game losing streak heading into Tuesday's home game with No. 5 Houston in Tempe, Ariz.
The Sun Devils (12-13, 3-11 Big 12) lost in double overtime at Texas Tech last week and came up short after rallying from a 13-point deficit in the second half against TCU at home Saturday.
The Sun Devils played without freshman forward Jayden Quaintance (ankle sprain) in those losses, and veteran forward Adam Miller was ejected early in the second half against TCU, his second ejection in two weeks.
"My players didn't even want me to talk to them after the game," Hurley said after the 74-70 loss to the Horned Frogs. "‘What do you want me to say at this point?' is some of the comments I got from my own players. We're kind of finding new ways maybe each game to not be able to get a win."
Houston (21-4, 13-1) strengthened its lead in the conference with Saturday's 62-58 road win against No. 13 Arizona.
The Cougars hold a two-game lead in the Big 12 standings over Texas Tech and Arizona.
They are 7-0 on the road this season and going back to last season, they have won their last 11 road games, the longest active streak in the nation.
Houston has won four straight games and 17 of its last 18 since Dec. 7.
