CU women, ranked 19th at end of season poll, draw Kansas in the first round in NCAA tournament
Mar 18th
BOULDER – Colorado held its ground this week, coming in at No. 19 in the final Associated Press Women’s Basketball Top 25 poll of the 2012-13 season, released Monday.
CU’s 14-week run in the AP poll is its longest since appearing in all 19 polls of the 2003-04 season, which culminated in the Buffaloes most recent NCAA Tournament appearance.
Colorado, 25-6 overall, received 299 points, up from 279 last week. There was no movement in the poll this week as the majority of ranked teams finished up conference tournament play over a week ago.
All six of Colorado’s losses have been to ranked teams, including five of six ranked No. 7 or better at the time. Stanford is currently ranked at No. 4, California at No. 6 and UCLA at No. 11.
The Buffaloes do have one top 10 win on their resume, a 70-66 win over then-No. 8 Louisville on Dec. 14. The Cardinals are currently ranked No. 16.
The Buffaloes have a long history of rankings in the AP poll, dating back to the 1980-81 season. This week’s ranking marks the 172nd time Colorado has appeared in the AP poll, trailing only Stanford, USC and UCLA among Pac-12 schools.
The USA Today Sports Coaches poll is scheduled to be released on Tuesday. Colorado was No. 19 in last week’s coaches’ poll.
Colorado now awaits its postseason fate with the announcement of the 64-team NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament field scheduled for 5 p.m. MT. Colorado will serve as a first- and second-round host site with games to be played on Saturday, March 23, and Monday, March 25.
