LSU re-entered the top five of the Associated Press Top 25 women’s college basketball poll on Monday, while the first four teams remained unchanged.
Behind No. 1 UCLA (16-0), No. 2 South Carolina (16-1), No. 3 Notre Dame (14-2) and No. 4 Southern California (16-1), the Tigers moved up one spot to No. 5 after running its record to 18-0 with an 89-87 win at then-No. 16 Tennessee on Thursday.
Kim Mulkey’s Tigers were ranked as high as No. 4 earlier this season.
UConn (15-2) also moved up a spot to No. 6 while Texas (16-2) slipped to No. 7 following its first loss in Southeastern Conference play to South Carolina. Maryland (15-1), Ohio State (16-0) and TCU (17-1) round out the top 10.
The two newcomers to this week’s poll were Minnesota and Oklahoma State, which received the same number of votes and shared the No. 24 ranking. Iowa and Michigan fell out of the top 25.
The rest of the AP Top 25: 11. Kansas State (17-1) 12. Kentucky (15-1) 13. Oklahoma (14-3) 14. North Carolina (15-3) 15. Tennessee (14-2) 16. Duke (16-4) 17. Georgia Tech (15-2) 18. Cal (16-2) 19. Alabama (16-2) 20. West Virginia (13-3) 21. North Carolina State (12-4) 22. Michigan State (13-3) 23. Utah (13-3) 24. Minnesota (16-1) 24. Oklahoma State (14-2)
