Texas demands number 1 in women AP Top 25

There is a new team No. 1 in the country that occurs in the last week of the regular season.

Texas has risen to the top and 19 is available the 31 First-placed voices, in the recent changeover of the AP Top 25. Although the Longhorns have not played since LSU’s decline on February 16, they benefit from the top team of the past week, Notre Dame, and fell a double cross-matchup against NC State against NC State on Sunday.

After the UCLA won against Iowa, she climbed to 2nd place, while the fighting Irish fell to No. 3. USC stays in 4th place and Uconn stays in 5th place.

Tennessee, NC State and Duke emphasized the greatest makers of the week. The Wolfpack rose to top 10 to No. 9 after defeating the fighting Irish. The victory was the fifth victory of the NC State against an opponent of school history and the official term of coach Wes Mooores, but at home since 1978. Tennessee also ranked 11th in 11th place after taking the victories against Florida and Alabama.

Duke was the biggest Faller who moved five places to 16th place. The Blue Devils lost to Notre Dame and Louisville last week, but won a victory over Syracuse on Sunday.

Here is the full survey together with the ballot The athlete‘S Chantel Jennings.

No. 1 does not come with certainty

The Longhorns are the country’s highest program for the first time in 21 years, but they hope that they can avoid the fate of Fighting Irish, which only lasted one week in this slot. Texas is the third team that has the top position in the past three weeks after the defeat of the UCLA against USC reduced the bruins in the ranking on February 13. If March is approaching, there seems to be no clarity about who should be the title favorite. The field seems to be far open, since it was only the fifth time since 2001 that three different schools were number 1 in three weeks.

South Carolina, No. 6 in the survey of this week, remained a place under Uconn that is number 5. However, the Gamecocks were the No. 1 in the pre -season and remain very strong in the fight against title. This year there were four teams on the ranking, which has only taken the sixth time since the beginning of the survey in 1976.
