Rank | Team | Comments | Prior | |
1 | Connecticut | If the Huskies are going to play another close game before March, it will come on Sunday against Louisville. | 1 | |
2 | Notre Dame | The Irish went to Cameron and proved to the entire conference that they are the team to beat in the ACC. | 2 | |
3 | Stanford | Stanford got the best of Cal twice last week. Next up the Cardinal take on UW and WSU for the first time. | 3 | |
4 | Louisville | Louisville began February on a high note, but all eyes are on Sunday's trip to Connecticut. | 5 | |
5 | Duke | Duke lost their first home conference game since 2008 in a surprisingly dominate performance by Notre Dame. | 4 | |
6 | South Carolina | The Gamecocks took care of business against Ole Miss and Mizzou. A trip to MSU could be a bit tougher. | 7 | |
7 | Baylor | The Lady Bears have played well since their loss at Kansas. This week they play the Oklahoma teams. | 8 | |
8 | Tennessee | The Lady Vol's offense finally got rolling in the second half against Alabama. They also beat Arkansas last week. | 11 | |
9 | Penn State | With a win at Purdue, the Lady Lions have emerged as the team to beat in the Big Ten. | 12 | |
10 | Maryland | Maryland finally ended their three game losing skid with a win at Syracuse. The wins should keep rolling in this week. | 9 | |
11 | Arizona State | Arizona State has won four games in a row by a total of ten points. They should have more cushion against Arizona. | 15 | |
12 | Oklahoma State | Oklahoma State can get back in the Big 12 race with a win at Baylor on Sunday afternoon. | 10 | |
13 | North Carolina | The Tar Heels were on a roll, but ended up losing twice at home last week. Maybe the road will be better. | 6 | |
14 | LSU | LSU lost at Kentucky and they have another very tough road game this weekend in College Station. | 13 | |
15 | Kentucky | Kentucky has had trouble stringing together conference wins. Beating LSU on Sunday could be the spark needed. | 14 | |
16 | North Carolina State | The Wolfpack dropped Maryland and are in third place in the ACC. The road has been tough to NC State though. | 19 | |
17 | Texas A&M | The fire has cooled a little for Texas A&M, but they have time to recover before Sunday's game against LSU. | 16 | |
18 | West Virginia | West Virginia picked up another nice win over Iowa State. This week they host Kansas State. | 25 | |
19 | Gonzaga | Gonzaga should have a pretty easy time at home against Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount this week. | 18 | |
20 | Vanderbilt | Following a loss to Mizzou, Vandy could have been in trouble, but they beat Texas A&M on Sunday. | 22 | |
21 | Middle Tennessee | Middle Tennessee won their contest at Tulsa and will take a trip to Southern Miss to make up their postponed game. | 23 | |
22 | Nebraska | The Cornhuskers finally strung together a couple quality Big Ten wins and hope to continue at Wisconsin. | 24 | |
23 | Iowa State | Iowa State is hanging at the .500 mark in Big 12 play and that's more than enough to get a decent tournament seed. | 21 | |
24 | Purdue | The Boilermakers came out on the losing end of a couple tough games, but should rebound this week. | 17 | |
25 | California | Cal is on another losing run, but they played pretty well against Stanford, especially in Palo Alto. | 20 |
