STORRS, Conn. — The UConn women’s basketball team dropped four spots in the Associated Press Top 25 poll after its dismal loss to undefeated South Carolina.
The Huskies fell from No. 11 to No. 15 this week after their 83-65 loss to the Gamecocks on Sunday.
While South Carolina remained the unanimous No. 1 team in the country, there was a lot of shuffling in the Top 25 ranking on Monday.

Ohio State jumped up to No. 2, matching the best ranking in school history. The Buckeyes, who were fifth last week, have won 11 straight games and their only losses this season have come from USC, UCLA, and Michigan.
Stanford moved up three places to No. 3. Iowa dropped to fourth and Texas climbed to fifth.
It’s the sixth consecutive week that there’s a different No. 2 team in the poll after Iowa blew a double-digit lead to Nebraska on Sunday. Caitlin Clark, who is eight points short of the NCAA record for career scoring, was scoreless in the fourth quarter.
N.C. State dropped three spots to sixth after falling to Virginia Tech. Colorado fell four spots to eighth after a loss at home to Oregon State. Kansas State remained seventh.
UCLA and USC stayed in ninth and 10th.
Fairfield University, who have been undefeated in their last 19 games, nabbed 29 points in the poll – just two places shy of making the top 25. The Stags’ last defeat was to Vanderbilt on Nov. 12, 2023. It is their only defeat of the season.
