The UConn women’s basketball team continues to hold down the top spot in the USA TODAY Sports women’s college basketball poll after a pair of victories last week.
The Huskies blew out DePaul by 67 points before defeating now No. 19-ranked USC, which fell two spots after the 79-51 loss.
The only change in the top 10 came as Oklahoma and Michigan flip-flopped positions. The Sooners (11-1) rose to No. 8 after a 22-point victory over Oklahoma State, which subsequently fell out of the rankings. Michigan (9-1) is now ranked No. 9 after wins over Purdue and Akron last week.
Louisville is the biggest riser in the poll this week, moving up three spots to No. 17 after defeating North Carolina. The Tar Heels fell five spots to No. 16 with the loss.
Nebraska (11-0) makes its season debut in the poll at No. 25.
