There are now only three unbeaten teams left in Division I women’s basketball as No. 2 Texas was upset Sunday 70-65 at No. 12 LSU.
It was the Tigers’ first victory against an Associated Press top-2 team since 2008, when LSU beat North Carolina in the NCAA Elite Eight, according to ESPN Research. LSU had lost 17 consecutive games to top-2 teams since then.
The remaining undefeated teams are No. 1 UConn, No. 7 Vanderbilt and No. 17 Texas Tech, all of which won this weekend. Vanderbilt is the only Division I school whose women’s and men’s teams are both unbeaten.
After starting 14-0, LSU lost its first two SEC games on Jan. 1 and 4 to Kentucky and Vanderbilt. But the Tigers bounced back with wins Thursday at Georgia and Sunday at home. Guard Mikaylah Williams led LSU with 20 points, 7 rebounds, 5 steals and 4 assists. Four other LSU players scored 10 points each.
