LINCOLN, Neb.—Seven Big 12 women’s basketball teams are ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 for the third straight week, with six in the top 15 in the latest poll.
Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly says there’s no debate that the Big 12 is the best.
Passionate Big East fans would love to debate Fennelly. No. 1 Connecticut looks unstoppable, and No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 9 West Virginia join the Huskies in the Top 10 and are among five ranked Big East teams.
Unbeaten and third-ranked Nebraska is the nation’s surprise team and the only Big 12 squad in the top 10.
But then comes Baylor, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma State all in a row from Nos. 11 to 15. Iowa State checks in at No. 20.
The Big 12 also ranks No. 1 in conference RPI.
