Washington coach Mike Neighbors has the Huskies back in the Top 25 for the first time in nearly 13 years.
They entered The Associated Press women's basketball poll on Monday at No. 25, buoyed by a four-game winning streak. It's the first appearance for the school in the poll since March 3, 2003.
"Ten years ago I could beat them on breaking news," Washington coach Mike Neighbors said of sharing the news. "They will probably know before I tell them. We'll talk about it, keep it in perspective, do something fun with it. We're off today but we'll have a group text message or something like that.
