The NCAA women’s basketball rankings came out on Tuesday for the first time since the preseason and the UConn Huskies women’s team still finds themselves as the No. 4 team in both polls.
There are no changes to the top five in either poll which are the same. Texas A&M is ranked No. 1 and is followed by Notre Dame, Tennessee, UConn and Stanford.
Joining the Irish and Huskies in the top 25 from the Big East are the Louisville Cardinals (9/10), Georgetown Hoyas (14/16), Rutgers Scarlet Knights (15/15) and DePaul Blue Demons (18/18).
The St. John’s Red Storm are the only team from the Big East among the others receiving votes in both polls. The Villanova Wildcats, Syracuse Orange and Marquette Golden Eagles are among the others receiving votes in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll.
The polls actually came out yesterday and it totally slipped my mind. With that said, the records of the teams may not reflect their current record if they played on Tuesday night.
