This week's AP Top 25

[BRS24]

UConn remains at #5, Nova moves up a spot, and welcome to Middle TN and FSU. Colorado also hanging in there. Interesting trivia regarding teams from Texas:

 

[BRS24]

"The Texas Longhorns fell out of Monday's poll, ending a 835-week run that had at least one team from the Lone Star State in the rankings. From Wayland Baptist, Stephen F. Austin and Baylor appearing in the first poll in 1976 to Texas' No. 25 ranking last week, there has always been at least one Texas team in the poll until now."

"At one point over the past 47 years, at least one of these teams had been ranked until the current poll: Baylor, Houston Lamar, Rice, Stephen F. Austin, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UTEP and Wayland Baptist."

"With Texas' run over, Connecticut now owns the longest active run for a state thanks to the Huskies, who have appeared in 557 consecutive polls."

Lone Star letdown: In 1st, no Texas teams in poll

For the first time in the 47-year history of the Associated Press women's basketball poll, no team from Texas is in the Top 25. South Carolina, Ohio State and Stanford are atop the poll.

less that 280 to go for us. Will Geno coach for another 8 years. I assume he always gets at least 35 wins a year.

Pretty amazing that UConn remains at #5 considering that Butler was the weakest opponent that anyone in the top 25 faced on that list.

When Azzi returns things will probably change.
