These are the 10 best DI women’s college basketball teams headed into this week, ranked by Autumn Johnson:
(last week’s ranking in parentheses)
1. South Carolina (1): Nothing new here. The Gamecocks are really good and showing it.
2. Stanford (2): The Cardinals continue to roll and are currently on a nine-game winning streak.
3. Ohio State (3): The undefeated Buckeyes are beating teams in notable fashion. The team’s resume includes big-time wins against Louisville, Michigan, Oregon and Tennessee.
4. Notre Dame (5): The Fighting Irish move up a slot this week after starting 3-0 in conference play
5. UConn (7): The Huskies have gone 4-0 in the Big East behind monster play from Aaliyah Edwards. The UConn forward had a terrific 20-20 game against Creighton, while Dorka Juhász was only two boards shy of doing the same against the Bluejays as well. Furthermore, the squad has seemingly put its injury woes behind them as Azzi Fudd was cleared for basketball activities last week.
the steal on one end, the finish on the other
Aaliyah Edwards is GOOD
