For the second straight week, the top 10 teams in the AP Top 25 poll remain unchanged. South Carolina is once again the unanimous No. 1, while the Washington Huskies are ranked for the first time since 2017.
South Carolina is coming off a 99-29 win over Presbyterian with seven Gamecocks scoring in double figures — tying the most double-digit players in the Dawn Staley era. The whole team also tied a program record for most blocks in one day (17).
The UCLA Bruins have not played in a week, but they kept their No. 2 spot. They have a big game coming up against No. 13 Ohio State on Monday evening.
Meanwhile, UConn has beaten back-to-back ranked opponents but remains at No. 17. Their latest win was an 86-62 result against now-No. 19 Louisville, which was the most points the Cardinals have given up all season.
Only 14 unbeaten teams remain in women’s college basketball, and UNLV is no longer one of them. The Lady Rebels entered the poll last week but had to exit after an 84-54 loss to Seton Hall on Saturday. The Miami Hurricanes are also no longer unbeaten and have left the rankings following a 75-57 loss to No. 10 Baylor. Washington and TCU took the vacant spots.
