There is no surer thing in college basketball: The UConn women are No. 1.
The Huskies remained a unanimous top choice in The Associated Press basketball poll after two more easy victories. They received all 32 votes Monday from the national media panel that selects the Top 25 each week.
UConn won its two games by an average of 43.5 points and then rallied to beat No. 20 South Florida on Monday night. UConn starts American Athletic Conference tournament play this weekend.
If the Huskies can capture the AAC tournament, they would surely be the top team in the poll for the entire season. It would mark the sixth time they’ve done that.
Notre Dame, South Carolina and Baylor followed the Huskies in the Top 25. The Lady Bears routed No. 6 Texas on Monday night. The Irish and Gamecocks begin their conference tournaments this week as well.
