UConn's women's basketball team enters the postseason as the unanimous No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll, receiving all 31 first-place votes after completing a perfect 31-0 regular season. The Huskies have won 47 consecutive games and will head to the conference tournament undefeated for the 11th time in program history.

The top nine teams remained unchanged, with UCLA, South Carolina, and Texas following UConn in the rankings. TCU replaced Louisville in the top 10 after the Cardinals lost to Notre Dame. North Carolina made the biggest jump, moving up five spots after defeating Duke and winning four straight games.

Fairfield entered the poll at No. 25 for the second time in three seasons, while Alabama fell out after losing five of its past six games. The SEC leads with eight teams in the Top 25, followed by the Big Ten with seven. Conference tournaments begin this week, with potential Top 25 matchups in the Big Ten and SEC, including a possible semifinal between No. 5 Vanderbilt and fourth-ranked Texas.
