MU women up a spot in rankings

The Missouri Tigers climbed one spot to No. 22 in this week's Associated Press women's college basketball poll released Monday.

The Tigers (16-4), who fell in overtime to No. 13 Texas A&M and defeated No. 22 Florida since the last pole was released, are back in action Thursday night against LSU. Game time is 7 p.m. at Mizzou Arena.

UConn remained No. 1 after two more wins by an average of 54 points. The Huskies are followed by South Carolina, Notre Dame, Baylor and Maryland. Texas, Ohio State and Arizona State stayed in their positions as the top eight teams in the poll remained unchanged.

There was some fear that Tennessee could see its streak of 561 straight weeks in the poll end after a loss to Notre Dame last Monday. The Lady Vols rebounded with a victory over Vanderbilt to remain among the Top 25 at No. 19.

Tennessee has a tough week in front of them with games at No. 12 Kentucky and No. 13 Mississippi State.
