Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo Sports
South Carolina's women's basketball team remains at the top of the AP Top 25 poll as of January 1, 2024, maintaining their dominant position from the previous year despite changes in their starting lineup. The Gamecocks, along with UCLA and Iowa, hold the top three spots, with UCLA ready to take over should South Carolina show any signs of weakness. The poll has seen significant movement with ranked teams losing to unranked opponents, leading to shifts in the rankings. South Carolina's recent victory over East Carolina and their upcoming SEC opener against Florida are key highlights, while Iowa's Caitlin Clark continues to chase the all-time scoring record, contributing to her team's high ranking.
