What a week it was! The #1 vs #2 matchup delayed the AP poll by one day and South Carolina proved that they are the top team in women’s college basketball right now. Then, the Thanksgiving tournaments began for multiple teams that saw many top teams lose games, some teams became better and there are only a handful of teams left that are undefeated right now. It was an unpredictable week and it was great to see the top teams tested as well as see teams play every day over the weekend in the tournaments.
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. 22nd to Nov. 28th. You can view the previous week here. Questions? Read the FAQ page here.
*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?
