We’ve entered the home stretch. One more week of regular-season play remains before conference tournaments begin, and the jockeying for tournament seeding has reached its height. We saw some major upsets this week, with four top 10 teams losing, including two to unranked opponents.
It will be interesting to see how that impacts the AP poll. It will also be interesting to see how the bottom of the poll looks after five of the last six teams in last week’s poll lost games this week. Here’s where the WBB AP Top 25 might land on Monday.

Michigan’s worst loss of the season
I have been convinced for weeks that Michigan had an outside shot at the title, but those beliefs took a major hit on Sunday against Iowa. The Wolverines didn’t just lose to the Hawkeyes; they lost baaaaad.
Michigan had three losses to teams in the current Top 25 coming in, all by three points and all to teams currently in the top five of the poll. Losing to Iowa wasn’t out of the question, but it would have been a competitive defeat that went down to the wire, right?…
