Women's college basketball Power Rankings: Two teams rejoin the list

"With a victory at longtime rival USC on Sunday, the Bruins will be just the fourth program to finish with a perfect regular season in Big Ten women's college basketball. The last to do it was Maryland in 2015, the season the Terps joined the Big Ten and advanced to the Final Four for the second year in a row. The others were Purdue in 1999, when the Boilermakers won the national championship, and Ohio State in 1985."

"This season, UCLA's only loss was to Texas at the Players Era Championship in Las Vegas on Nov. 26. The Bruins' 21-game winning streak is the third-longest active streak among Division I women's teams, behind UConn's 29 games this season and 45 dating to last season and North Dakota State's 23."

"The Bruins -- No. 2 again in this week's ESPN women's college basketball Power Rankings -- will take a 55-54 all-time series lead vs. USC after their 80-46 victory at home over the Trojans on Jan. 3. JuJu Watkins' absence as she rehabs a knee injury has changed the dynamic this season for the Trojans."

UCLA women's basketball is on the verge of achieving a historic milestone in their second Big Ten season. With a win against USC on Sunday, the Bruins will join an exclusive group of four programs to finish with a perfect regular season in Big Ten women's college basketball. Maryland accomplished this feat in 2015 when joining the conference and reaching the Final Four. Purdue achieved it in 1999 while winning the national championship, and Ohio State did so in 1985 under coach Tara VanDerveer. UCLA's only loss this season came to Texas in November, and they currently hold a 21-game winning streak, the third-longest active streak in Division I women's basketball.
