The top nine in the USA TODAY Sports women’s basketball coaches poll stayed the same this week. The only movement in the top 10 came with North Carolina and Iowa State swapping places.
The Cyclones are now ranked No. 10 heading into their matchup against the No. 12 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes on Wednesday, Dec. 10 at Hilton Coliseum in Ames. Iowa State center Audi Crooks leads the nation in scoring, averaging 27.6 points a game.
