Make room for Carla Berube and Princeton in the AP Poll. The Tigers checked in at No. 25 this week, the fourth time in the past five seasons in which they have earned a ranking, after improving to 10-1 following an 81-63 victory over Rutgers in their lone game last week. Princeton, which has a NET R anking of 34, has already collected three wins over the Big East (Villanova, Seton Hall and DePaul), two over the Big Ten (Penn State and Rutgers) and on over the ACC (Georgia Tech). It’s lone loss was on the road at No. 7 Maryland. “I feel like everyone else in the country at least has us on their radar,” said junior forward Fadima Tall. “That’s enough for us, honestly. The number only really matters toward the end.” Tall earned Ivy League Player of the Week after she went off for a career-best 28 points, while also stuffing the stat sheet with four rebounds, three assists and five steals. The Tigers are back in action on Saturday at George Mason (6-5). UConn went to California and blew out USC to keep its undefeated season intact and maintain its hold on the top spot in the poll. The Huskies received 24 first-place votes from a 32-member national media panel. UConn has now been ranked 646 weeks in the poll to tie Stanford for third most in the 50-year history of the poll, trailing only Tennessee (801 appearances) and Texas (649). The second-ranked Longhorns garnered the other eight first-place ballots. South Carolina, UCLA and LSU remained the next three teams in the poll. Michigan was sixth with Maryland seventh. Oklahoma flipped places with TCU to move up to eighth after beating rival Oklahoma State last week. Iowa State rounded out the top 10. The Cyclones beat in-state rival Iowa 74-69 last week. The Hawkeyes remained 11th. Louisville made the biggest jump this week, climbing six spots to No. 16 after an overtime victory over then-No. 12 North Carolina on Sunday. The Tar Heels fell six places to 18th. The Associated Press contributed to this story. ...read more read less
