South Carolina maintains dominance at top of Paste BN Sports women's basketball poll

South Carolina is once again the near unanimous No. 1 team in the Paste BN Sports women’s basketball coaches poll.

Louisville holds steady at No. 3, and ACC rival North Carolina State moves up a spot to No. 4. Iowa State vaults four positions to No. 5.
