While a few inspired upsets have shaken up the Top 25 in women’s college basketball, a handful of teams remain perfect. The list of undefeateds has shrunk to just three: UConn, Vanderbilt, and Texas Tech,

The UConn women's basketball team rose to No. 1 in the Associated Press poll for the first time on Jan. 17, 1995. A day later, the Huskies rolled past Boston College at Conte Forum for their first win as the top-ranked team. No one has been No. 1 more weeks than UConn. No one has won more games as the No. 1 team than the Huskies.

UConn women’s basketball fell back into its bad habit of sloppy, sluggish starts against Creighton in its first Big East road trip of 2026. The Huskies were slow on defense and discombobulated on offense. A lack of connection allowed turnovers to stack up while the Bluejays tied the game early.

The No. 1 UConn women’s basketball team (17-0, 8-0) defeated the Creighton Bluejays (7-10, 3-5) 95-54 in the battle of turnovers. Despite a messy 21-turnover clash, Connecticut still dominated the court and handed the Bluejays a 41-point loss.

Kayleigh Heckel’s stats against St. John’s didn’t stand out, but UConn coach Geno Auriemma went out of his way to praise her performance.

Hall of Famers Rebecca Lobo (1995), Sue Bird (2002), Maya Moore (2009, 2010) were among the great players on UConn's undefeated rosters. Future Hall of Famers Diana Taurasi (2002), Swin Cash (2002) and Breanna Stewart are other names in the mix.
