Which women’s basketball conference reigns supreme?

The GIST: Over halfway through the season, the ACC and the SEC boast the most top 25 women’s hoops teams out of any conference, while the Big Ten is home to the No. 1 squad. Which conference reigns supreme? Let’s discuss:

ACC features seven top teams, including No. 3 Notre Dame: With junior Ta’Niya Latson and No. 25 Florida State working their way into the top 25 this week, the ACC officially has seven ranked squads.

• The No. 3 Fighting Irish lead the way with an 8-0 conference record, while the remaining six teams have at least one loss. That parity makes things extra competitive — truly anything could happen.

SEC claims most ranked teams in the country: Eight top-25 teams come from the SEC, including three top-10 squads in No. 2 South Carolina, No. 5 Texas, and No. 7 LSU. Not to mention, the last three national titles have been won by an SEC contender. Question is: Will a team step up to make it four in a row?

No. 1 UCLA highlights Big Ten’s three top-10 teams: The top-ranked Bruins, who are 20-0 for the first time in program history, headline the Big Ten’s top-25 teams with No. 4 USC and No. 8 Ohio State rounding out the rest of the top-10.

• The conference gained a major boost from realignment as both the Bruins and the Trojans were in the Pac-12 last season. Their additions, plus longtime members No. 14 Maryland and No. 16 Michigan State holding steady, make this a talent-packed battle. Just the beginning.
