Louisville and North Carolina State both survived upset bids by unranked teams to remain the top two teams in The Associated Press women's basketball poll released Monday. Louisville received 22 of the 30 first-place votes from a national media panel while N.C. State garnered five. The two teams will meet next Monday in a makeup of their game postponed because of COVID-19 issues. They weren't the only top teams to face stiff challenges in the past few days as third-ranked UConn fended off then-No. West Virginia and South Dakota State entered the poll this week at No.
