Iowa cracks top 10 in women's AP poll for 1st time in 2 years
"UConn received all 30 first-place ballots from a national media panel as the top six teams in the poll were unchanged from a week earlier. The Huskies have won 34 consecutive games dating back to last season. UConn hosted former Big East rival Notre Dame late Monday; the Fighting Irish fell out of the poll this week. No. 2 South Carolina and No. 3 UCLA were next. Texas remained fourth despite losing to South Carolina 68-65 last week."
"Rising Tigers Princeton moved up to No. 20 this week, the team's best ranking since the Tigers were 13th in the final poll of 2015. They had a 13-game winning streak heading into Monday's game against Harvard. The lone defeat on the season came against Maryland. Falling Cyclones Iowa State dropped out of the poll for the first time this season after losing its fifth consecutive game on Sunday. The Cyclones were 10th on Dec. 22, but have steadily fallen down the rankings since."
UConn is the unanimous No. 1 in the AP Top 25, having received all 30 first-place votes and extending a 34-game winning streak. Iowa cracked the top 10 for the first time in two years. South Carolina is No. 2 and UCLA No. 3, with Texas fourth despite a recent loss. Vanderbilt, LSU, Michigan, Louisville, TCU and Iowa complete the top 10. Duke re-entered at No. 21 after a 10-game win streak. Princeton rose to No. 20, while Iowa State dropped out after five straight losses. The SEC has nine ranked teams; the Big Ten has seven and the Big 12 has five.
