South Carolina finally goes down. Losing by one point in overtime at Missouri won’t drop them in the polls. Quite frankly, nobody has the resume that can match South Carolina’s at the moment. Kim Mulkey’s Tigers of LSU open SEC play with two wins against ranked opponents and continue to climb. Arizona has been idle recently due to Covid issues and they have not played in about three weeks. Connecticut has not played recently either keeping a 6-3 record which seems to be underperforming for a program they usually are. Missouri makes a big jump after upsetting South Carolina without one of their best players.
