This past week, UConn reached 30 wins and remained undefeated in their win against Georgetown. UCLA finished undefeated in the Big 10 conference, a feat that has not been accomplished since the 2014-2015 season when Maryland also went undefeated. Duke won the ACC conference regular season title after Louisville was upset by Notre Dame. South Carolina won the SEC conference regular season title.
