Michigan skyrocketed in the latest AP Top 25 women’s basketball poll and earned its highest ranking in four seasons. The Wolverines jumped eight spots, the biggest risers this week, to No. 6 in Monday’s poll. Their 93-54 win over then-No. 18 Notre Dame was certainly a major factor. Michigan is 3-0 and faces No. 1 Connecticut later this week.
