Louisville moved up to sixth for its best ranking in four years in The
Associated Press women's Top 25 basketball poll released Monday.
UConn remained the unanimous No. 1 from the 31-member national media panel. The
Huskies are the lone undefeated team in women's college basketball and kept
that streak going Sunday with a 96-66 rout of then-No. 15 Tennessee. UConn has
won 39 consecutive games dating to last season. UCLA, South Carolina and Texas
remained behind the Huskies in an unchanged top four.
The Bruins had an impressive win over then-No. 8 Iowa on Sunday. The Hawkeyes
dropped to 10th. The Longhorns topped then-No. 10 Oklahoma on Sunday as well.
The Sooners fell to 11th.
The rest of the top 10 shuffled. LSU moved back up to fifth, and Louisville
climbed to its highest ranking since 2022 after wins at Stanford and Cal.
Vanderbilt dropped two spots to seventh after a loss to Ole Miss. Michigan and
Ohio State were next. It's the Buckeyes first appearance in the top 10 in a
year.
Falling Tigers Princeton fell four spots to No. 23 after ending a 15-game winning streak Friday in a loss to rival Columbia. The Tigers rebounded with a victory over Cornell the next day. Princeton was having its best year since going undefeated during the regular season in 2014-15.
Conference supremacy The SEC has a record 10 teams in the poll for the second consecutive week. The Big Ten is next with seven. The Big 12 has four teams, the Atlantic Coast Conference has two, and the Big East and Ivy League each have one.
Games of the week No. 17 Duke at No. 6 Louisville, Thursday. First place in the ACC will be on the line. The Blue Devils have a 13-game winning streak and the Cardinals have won 14 straight. No. 2 UCLA at No. 8 Michigan, Sunday. The top two teams in the Big Ten will face off when the Bruins visit the Wolverines. UCLA hasn't lost a conference game this season, while Michigan has just one loss. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.
