South Carolina women's basketball holding strong near top of AP rankings
For the last month, South Carolina women’s basketball has been in a somewhat unfamiliar situation. Following their loss to UCLA, the Gamecocks dropped from the top spot in the AP top 25. Despite dropping to 4th, USC has rebounded and jumped back up to No. 2 in the most recent Associated Press rankings.

That continued on Monday. When the AP dropped their updated top 25, South Carolina remained at No. 2. The Gamecocks still are behind only the undefeated Bruins.
