Vanderbilt women’s college basketball team played just one game last week and, despite it being a 21-point loss to then-No. 4 Texas, the Commodores have fallen out of the top 25.

Vanderbilt received votes in the latest AP Top 25 Women’s College Basketball Poll after being ranked No. 24 in last week’s ranking. The Commodores received the third-most votes with 20 votes. California (38) and Illinois (22) are the two teams ahead of the Commodores.

The Commodores will get their chance to rejoin the top 25 with a pair of games this week. Vanderbilt will host Mississippi State on Thursday at 8 p.m. on SEC Network. The Commodores will then travel to Auburn, Ala to face the Tigers in a Sunday afternoon matchup.
