The UConn Huskies women’s basketball team remains No. 2 in the latest polls and they have narrowed the gap between themselves and No. 1 Baylor in the AP Poll. The margin is about the same as it was last week in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. The top seven teams from last week are the same in both polls.
Joining the Huskies from the Big East in the top 10 are the No. 8/8 West Virginia Mountaineers and the No. 9/9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Also in the top 25 from the Big East are the No. 12/17 DePaul Blue Demons and No. 19/19 Georgetown Hoyas.
The Marquette Golden Eagles, Syracuse Orange, Rutgers Scarlet Knights and St. John’s Red Storm are among the others receiving votes in both polls from the Big East.
