Week 2 of the women’s college basketball season saw a ton of close games, especially on Sunday. Many top 25 games were decided by five points or less and one went into overtime to win. It was a hectic weekend that describes just how tough it is to win and get home or road wins early in the season. It also saw teams like IUPUI forfeit their games due to Covid-19 as well as Iowa who cancelled their rest of the games. Iowa still played this week, so you will see their top players in here, but until their season resumes, Iowa nor IUPUI players won’t be on this list as this list requires active players.
Listed below are the top 36 seniors, the top 27 juniors, the top 18 sophomores and the top 9 freshmen for the week of Nov.15th to Nov. 21st. You can view the previous week’s rankings here. Curious? Have questions or this is your first time viewing the rankings? Get caught up on the FAQ page
*NEW addition to the Rankings – Ever curious to see how players developed over the years on these rankings? How some players either fell off or become better after college in the WNBA? Well, I’ve decided to list ALL of my previous years rankings based on the week so you can see it for yourself and decide!
