UConn remains the unanimous No. 1 team and the top six teams were unchanged in Monday's Associated Press Top 25 women's basketball poll.
After a 2-0 week with wins over Creighton and Villanova by a combined 90 points, the Huskies (18-0) extended their overall winning streak to 34 games and their conference winning streak to 57 games. They have been atop the poll the entire season, receiving all 30 first-place votes each of the last two weeks.
South Carolina (19-1) remains No. 2, running its winning streak to 12 games with a 68-65 win over No. 4 Texas on Thursday and a blowout of Coppin State on Sunday.
UCLA (17-1), Texas (19-2), Vanderbilt (18-0) and LSU (17-2) round out the top six. No. 7 Michigan (15-2), No. 8 Louisville (18-3), No. 9 TCU (18-1) and No. 10 Iowa (16-2) each moved up one spot due to Kentucky (17-3) falling four spots to No. 11 after a 71-59 loss at Mississippi State on Sunday.
The Hawkeyes, on a six-game winning streak after Sunday's 75-68 win over then-No. 15 Michigan State, are in the Top 10 for the first time in two years, last doing so in Caitlin Clark's senior season.
Duke, West Virginia and Washington entered this week's poll at Nos. 21, 22 and 25, respectively. They replaced Illinois, Notre Dame and Iowa State, which fell out of the poll thanks to a five-game losing streak after a 14-0 start that had the Cyclones ranked 10th less than a month ago.
The rest of the Top 25:
11. Kentucky (17-3)
12. Ohio State (16-2)
13. Michigan State (17-2)
14. Baylor (17-3)
15. Maryland (17-3)
16. Oklahoma (14-4)
17. Tennessee (13-3)
18. Ole Miss (16-4)
19. Texas Tech (19-1)
20. Princeton (15-1)
21. Duke (13-6)
22. West Virginia (15-4)
23. Alabama (17-3)
24. Nebraska (14-4)
25. Washington (14-4)
