There has yet to be a boring week of women’s college basketball in 2023-2024, and this past week was particularly exciting for the sport as Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer became the winningest coach in college basketball history.
VanDerveer’s record-breaking 1,203rd career win happened against Oregon State on Sunday. She had tied former Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski’s record a few days earlier with a win against Oregon.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great week for everyone. TCU had to host open tryouts because the team didn’t have enough players due to injuries. The Horned Frogs had to forfeit two games over a lack of available players, but will resume their season Tuesday against UCF.
Ohio State gave us the most memorable game of the week by upsetting No. 2 Iowa in front of the largest indoor regular season crowd for a women’s college basketball game this season. Speaking of exciting games, a huge matchup lies ahead Thursday between No. 1 South Carolina and No. 9 LSU.
Here are some of the biggest moments and storylines from the past week, as well as the top games to watch over the coming days
