UConn's loss to West Virginia over the weekend dropped the defending national champions from 17th to 24th in the Associated Press poll, with the Mountaineers rising to 21st after being unranked to start the season.
Meanwhile, the Huskies are headed back to Hawaii for the 2016 Maui Invitational, which will take place Nov. 21-23 at the Lahaina Civic Center. The team has made the trip on three previous occasions -- 2000, 2005, 2010.
