UCLA's women's team holds the top spot in the AP poll with a 15-0 record, led by standout performances from Lauren Betts during their second-longest season-opening win streak in program history.
Key injuries have raised questions for UConn and South Carolina women's teams, with Paige Bueckers (UConn) and Ashlyn Watkins (South Carolina) both suffering knee injuries during recent games.
Oklahoma's women's team handed Tennessee its first loss of the season but struggled with turnovers in a narrow win against the Vols, highlighting the team's inconsistency.
