South Carolina remains No. 1 as top five changes in Paste BN Sports women's basketball poll


South Carolina continues to lead the Paste BN Sports women’s basketball coaches poll as Aliyah Boston continues to pile up double doubles for the Gamecocks.

Her streak reached 19 in Sunday’s emphatic win against Tennessee that clinched the SEC regular-season title for the Gamecocks, who once again received all but one of 32 first-place votes in the poll.

Stanford remains No. 2 retaining the last first-place nod, though the Cardinal needed a furious rally to survive Oregon over the weekend. North Carolina State edges back up to No. 3, while Louisville slips to fourth after dropping a one-point road squeaker at No. 18 North Carolina earlier in the week. Michigan nudges ahead of Iowa State for the fifth spot.
