Oregon women’s basketball is trending upwards in the AP Top 25 rankings after a win last week.
The Ducks (4-0) came in at No. 23 in Monday’s AP rankings, climbing two spots after a 66-35 win over North Texas last Tuesday. They beat now-No. 18 Baylor two days earlier, and entered the Top 25 for the first time that Monday as a result.
The Big Ten has seven ranked teams: No. 3 USC, No. 5 UCLA, No. 11 Maryland, No. 12 Ohio State, No. 21 Nebraska, No. 22 Illinois and No. 23 Oregon. The three teams receiving the most votes outside of the Top 25 also hail from the Big Ten: Iowa, Michigan, and Michigan State.
Oregon hosts Grand Canyon on Monday night, and Auburn on Wednesday. Both games tip off at 6 p.m. at Matthew Knight Arena, and are streaming on B1G+.
