Notre Dame Women's Basketball No. 10 In AP Poll For Third Straight Week

Notre Dame women’s basketball continues to hold in place at No. 10 in this week’s Associated Press basketball poll. The Fighting Irish (22-4, 13-3 ACC) remain No. 10 for a third consecutive week after last Thursday’s thrilling 78-76 overtime win over Louisville and Sunday’s 83-43 trouncing of Pittsburgh.

The top three spots in the poll are unchanged this week. Defending national champion South Carolina (27-0) remains No. 1 for the 35th consecutive week after thwarting an overtime scare from Ole Miss. The Gamecocks beat the unranked Rebels 64-57 after outscoring their SEC rival 9-2 in the extra frame.

One more week in the top spot will tie Louisiana Tech for the second-longest run at the top of the AP rankings. UConn holds the all-time record at 51 consecutive weeks.

South Carolina received 27 of 28 first-place votes, with the other going to No. 2 Indiana (26-1). The Hoosiers have won 14 straight games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season. Stanford (25-3) remains No. 3.

UConn (24-4) is up two spots to No. 4, LSU (25-1) remains No. 5, Iowa (22-5) and Maryland (22-5) each moved up a spot to No. 6 and 7, respectively, after Utah (23-3) fell four spots after last week’s loss to now No. 14 Arizona.

Other ACC teams in the poll this week are No. 9 Virginia Tech (22-4), who leapfrogged the Irish by moving up two spots after wins over Duke and NC State last week, Duke (23-4) fell two spots to No. 11, North Carolina (19-8) is down three to No. 22, and Florida State (22-7) is up one to No. 23.

Notre Dame’s four losses this season are to No. 7 Maryland, No. 11 Duke, No. 22 North Carolina, and NC State. The Irish have wins over No. 4 UConn, No. 9 Virginia Tech and No. 23 Florida State.
