Women's College Basketball Power Rankings: Texas Tech Falls After Back-to-Back Losses
Texas Tech's unbeaten streak ended with two losses, Vanderbilt rose to the top five, and Kentucky dropped out of the top 10, CBS Sports reported.
- On Monday, CBS Sports moved Vanderbilt into its top-five power rankings after the Commodores beat Michigan 72-69 in the Coretta Scott King Classic, noting Vanderbilt as the last remaining unbeatens at 19-0.
- A potent offense and a rugged remaining schedule explain the rise as Vanderbilt runs a top-10 offense led by Mikayla Blakes, who averages 25.0 points, and faces eight of the final 11 ranked opponents.
- Vanderbilt will travel to face South Carolina Gamecocks, reigning national runner-up, at 2 p.m. Sunday; ESPN's analytics give South Carolina a 90.5% chance with 9.9 steals and 6.5 blocks versus Vanderbilt's more than 12 takeaways.
- The game represents a pivotal heavyweight SEC matchup as Vanderbilt faces a tall task staying unbeaten in conference play against eight ranked opponents.
- A strong showing could reshape Vanderbilt's national standing and seeding chatter, as how Vanderbilt performs in this stretch could shape CBS Sports rankings and NCAA seeding.
