UConn women still No. 1

Connecticut stayed No. 1 in women’s basketball Monday while a week full of upsets reshuffled the rest of the Top 25.

The Huskies enjoyed two blowout victories, but were no longer a unanimous choice in the rankings by the Associated Press. North Carolina picked up a first-place vote, moving into the second spot after edging Oklahoma 80-79 Sunday in the championship game of the Preseason WNIT.

California climbed four spots to No. 3 for its highest ranking. The Sooners fell two places to fourth. Stanford moved into fifth, Baylor sixth and Louisville seventh. Texas A&M advanced four places to eighth.

Tennessee fell four spots to No. 9, its lowest ranking since Jan. 3, 2005, when the Lady Vols were 10th. Maryland moved back into the top 10, and Texas climbed three places to 11th. Duke fell six spots to No. 12 after losing to Hartford in DePaul’s tournament.
