With four games remaining in the regular season, the CU Buffs women (20-5, 11-3 Pac-12) are on the verge of clinching a top-three finish. And, on Monday, they vaulted to No. 21 in the AP Top 25 — the program’s highest ranking since December 2016.
In the fall, Pac-12 coaches and media picked the Buffs to finish eighth.
“You could argue that on paper we lost as much as anybody in the conference . For us to be able to do what we’re doing speaks volumes to who we have on our current roster, the type of development that they’ve poured into themselves.” Aaronette Vonleh, a transfer from Arizona, has been arguably the most improved player in the conference, while the Buffs continue to get nightly contributions from a variety of players.
The Buffs are also just one game behind co-leaders Stanford and Utah, so a regular season conference title isn’t out of the question.South Carolina remained at No. 1 in the latest AP Top 25 released on Monday. Indiana is at No. 2, followed by Stanford, Utah and LSU. At No. 4, Utah has its highest ranking in program history.
