NCAA women's basketball has a new team atop the AP Poll: Texas.
The 26-2 Longhorns jumped up one spot to secure the top position in the country. This is the first time Texas has held the No. 1 spot since the 2003-04 season.
Texas last played on Sunday, Feb. 16, meaning they didn't have a game this past week to impact their AP Poll standings. The Longhorns' last three contests have been wins over ranked opponents—South Carolina, Kentucky and LSU. Texas is currently on a 10-game winning streak as they enter Monday night's SEC matchup vs. unranked Georgia.
