UConn, UCLA, Texas and South Carolina, all No. 1 seeds, top final AP Top 25
before March Madness
By DOUG FEINBERG
AP Basketball Writer
UConn, UCLA, Texas and South Carolina were the top four teams in the final
regular-season Associated Press women's basketball Top 25 released Monday,
matching the No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament that begins this week.
The No. 1 Huskies were the overall top seed in the NCAA bracket announced
Sunday night. The team that was No. 1 in the poll heading into March Madness
has won the NCAA championship 17 times out of 43 early March polls dating to
1982, the first year of the women's tournament.
The AP has done a final poll after the NCAA Tournament the past two seasons so
there is one more poll this season on April 6.
The No. 2 Bruins picked up one more first place vote this week, giving them
three from the 31-member national media panel. UConn received the other 28.
With so few games last week that involved ranked teams --- only UConn and
Princeton played and both won --- the Top 25 didn't change much from the week
before.
LSU, Vanderbilt, Iowa and Duke followed No. 3 Texas and No. 4 South Carolina.
Michigan and West Virginia rounded out the top 10 teams. All will host NCAA
Tournament games this weekend. West Virginia flipped places with Ohio State,
moving up to No. 11.
