The TCU Women's Basketball team (24-3, 12-2 Big 12) continue to have a magical season. After falling on the road to then No. 12 Kansas State two weeks ago, the Horned Frogs have won three straight. After defeating BYU and Arizona last week, both by double digits, TCU is back in the Top 10 in both polls this week.

UCLA, who had been at the top of the polls since Week 4, lost their first game of the season to cross-town rival USC. This dropped the Bruins to No. 3 in both polls. This moved Notre Dame, a team TCU defeated 76-68 back in November, to the top spot for the first time this season. Texas moved up to No. 2, and USC is right behind UCLA at No. 4. UConn rounds out the Top Five.
