Well, well, well, the new year has arrived, my friends, and South Carolina Gamecocks are still ruling the roost! They have firmly planted themselves at the top of The Associated Press women's basketball poll, receiving a staggering 34 out of 35 first-place votes. I mean, talk about domination. It seems like these Gamecocks just can't be stopped.
But hold your horses, folks, because we have a little twist in the voting process this time. UCLA swooped in and managed to snatch that one remaining No. 1 vote after their epic victory over their Los Angeles rival, USC. These Bruins certainly know how to make a statement, defeating not one, not two, but FOUR top-25 teams this season. Impressive, isn't it? And let's not forget that two of those wins came on neutral grounds and one on the road. Can you say clutch?
