The UConn women finished off the decade in the same spot where they began — No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll.

The Huskies received 19 first-place votes on Monday, beating No. 2 Oregon and No. 3 Oregon State, which both got five first-place votes. South Carolina and Stanford round out the top five. With few games this week because of the holidays, the first 22 teams in the poll stayed the same as the previous week.

It's been some decade for the Huskies: five national championships, a total of 17 losses and all 194 weeks ranked in the top five. UConn has been the No. 1 team in the Top 25 in 111 of them, a run that included an 111-game winning streak.

Wow those are just ridiculous stats. An entire decade in the top 5 may be the most impressive, though being ranked first on more than half of the polls for an entire decade is pretty amazing too.

More impressive still is that they made to the final four every year of the decade!
