The Utah women’s basketball team received the program’s first Top 25 ranking since 2008, just in time for a demanding portion of the Pac-12 schedule.
The Utes became the AP Top 25's biggest story Monday. They not only earned a long-awaited ranking, but debuted at No. 21 as one of four new teams in the Top 25. That was part of the fallout of a week when 13 ranked teams lost. Florida State (No. 22), Texas A&M (No. 24) and Missouri (No. 25) also moved in, while Tennessee, Minnesota, DePaul and Indiana dropped out.
Utah had received enough votes to be No.
