Exciting News; Dawn Staley Head Coach Announced South Carolina Reclaims No. 1 Spot in NET Rankings After Dominant Win Over Texas

South Carolina’s women’s basketball team has consistently dominated the NET rankings this season. When the Gamecocks have temporarily lost their top position, it’s typically been to the Texas Longhorns. Last week, South Carolina held the No. 1 spot, but before their highly anticipated top-5 matchup over the weekend, Texas briefly took over.

After Sunday’s commanding victory by the Gamecocks, South Carolina has reclaimed the No. 1 position in the NET rankings. As of Monday night, Texas has moved back to the No. 2 spot. The rivalry between these two powerhouse teams will continue later this season when they face each other again.

For those unfamiliar, the NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool) is a critical metric used by the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee to evaluate teams. It considers the Team Value Index, which accounts for game results, game locations, and strength of schedule, as well as adjusted net efficiency ratings. These ratings measure how well a team performs, factoring in the quality of opponents and game locations.

South Carolina’s return to the top spot solidifies their status as one of the premier teams in women’s basketball this season.
