Well, well, well, South Carolina has started the new year in the most fitting fashion - sitting pretty right at the top of The Associated Press women's basketball poll. I mean, they're practically wearing a crown at this point. The Gamecocks have almost become synonymous with domination, receiving a staggering 34 out of 35 first-place votes from the national media panel. Talk about a winning streak.
But hold on a minute, folks, because UCLA wants in on the action too. They managed to snag that elusive No. 1 vote after defeating the formidable then-No. 6 USC in a thrilling Los Angeles showdown. The Bruins are making quite a statement this season, with four victories against top-25 teams under their belt. And get this, two of those wins even came at neutral sites! These Bruins aren't afraid to go on the road and show the world what they're made of.
