Women’s college basketball is in the midst of an exciting season with teams vying for conference championships and a spot in the NCAA tournament. Here are the latest Power 10 rankings, featuring some impressive performances and historic achievements.

At the top of the list is South Carolina, the only undefeated team in Division I basketball. They had a hard-fought win over Ole Miss in overtime to maintain their spot at number one. Indiana is hot on their heels, securing a share of the Big Ten regular season crown for the first time in 40 years, ending a long drought.

Stanford is also climbing the ranks, moving up to number three after securing their seventh ranked win of the season against USC. They also celebrated Cameron Brink becoming the Cardinal’s all-time leader in blocks with 274. LSU, Iowa, and Utah round out the top six teams, each with their own standout performances.

LSU, despite a loss to South Carolina, bounced back with impressive wins over Ole Miss and Florida. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark of Iowa continues to shine, leading her team to three straight victories with an average margin of 20 points. Their upcoming games against Maryland and Indiana will test their mettle. Utah, on the other hand, slid back in the rankings after losing to Arizona and will face a tough test against Stanford to close out their regular season.

UConn, one of the most storied programs in women’s college basketball, is holding steady at number seven as they close out the season with a three-game winning streak. Maryland had a close call against Michigan State, but they managed to escape with a five-point victory and maintain their spot at number eight.

Notre Dame rounds out the top ten with a buzzer-beater from Olivia Miles to secure a win against Louisville, avoiding a second overtime against a scrappy Cardinals team. Virginia Tech enters the rankings at number ten with a five-game winning streak, including three conference wins against NC State, Florida State, and Duke.

These latest Power 10 rankings in women’s college basketball showcase the talent and determination of the top teams as they compete for conference championships and a place in the NCAA tournament. As the season comes to a close, fans can expect more exciting moments and historic achievements from these impressive teams.
