On Monday, South Carolina women’s basketball moved up to the No. 2 spot in the AP rankings. Having dropped to No. 4 in the Associated Press poll following their loss to UCLA in November, the Gamecocks moved up just one spot over the previous three weeks despite dominating three top-15 teams since the defeat. Now, after a win over South Florida this weekend, USC is No. 2.

The move up comes, in part, thanks to a loss from the previously undefeated UConn Huskies. UConn dropped a road contest to the top-10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

South Carolina earned a 1st place vote this week, as well. That vote matches up with the Gamecocks’ No. 1 spot in the NET rankings.

You can check out the entire updated AP top 25 below (1st place votes in parentheses):

  1. UCLA Bruins (30)
  2. South Carolina Gamecocks (1)
  3. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (1)
  4. UConn Huskies
  5. LSU Tigers
  6. Texas Longhorns
  7. Southern Cal Trojans
  8. Maryland Terrapins
  9. Duke Blue Devils
  10. Oklahoma Sooners
  11. Ohio State Buckeyes
  12. TCU Horned Frogs
  13. Kansas State Wildcats
  14. West Virginia Mountaineers
  15. Michigan State Spartans
  16. Kentucky Wildcats
  17. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
  18. Tennessee Lady Volunteers
  19. North Carolina Tar Heels
  20. Michigan Wolverines
  21. NC State Wolfpack
  22. Iowa Hawkeyes
  23. Nebraska Cornhuskers
