ASU Basketball: Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Top 4 Rankings

Today, we unveil the Top 4 teams in the Pac-12 and break each one down, including ASU Basketball, who are riding high entering conference play.

The Devils in Detail women’s basketball coverage team of Sam Ficarro, Jordan Kaye, Gigi Micketti and Leah Soto put together a Pac-12 poll with conference season beginning this week. Earlier this week we released teams 12-9 and 8-5, and today we unveil the top four teams.

Just half of the teams remaining made the NCAA Tournament last season with the other two teams missing out on the postseason last season. These four teams has had a successful start to the season with these teams combining for a 44-4 record entering Pac-12 play.

All four of these teams are ranked in the latest AP Poll, a part of the Pac-12’s record-setting seven ranked teams in the poll. They have also combined for six Pac-12 Player or Freshman of the Week awards, with one player named espnW Player of the Week just this week.

Pac-12 play will feature a lot of intense and close games with not much separating the teams in the conference. The depth of this conference is arguably unmatched in the nation and we could potentially see a team with at least five conference losses win the conference.

It goes to show how much the Pac-12 has really improved over the last three seasons, in part to strong recruiting and each team willing to schedule a challenging non-conference schedule to set them up for better success in conference play and in March.

Without further ado, we resume our rankings with a team that finished as Co-Pac-12 champions last season.
