BOULDER -- After a one week hiatus, the University of Colorado rejoined the USA Today Sports Women's Basketball Coaches poll at No. 25 released on Tuesday.
Colorado, 13-2 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-12 Conference, received 67 votes, up from 28 last week when the Buffaloes were the second team listed in the "receiving votes" category. Colorado made its first appearance of the season in the coaches' poll on Jan. 1, also at No. 25.
On Monday the Buffaloes moved up two spots to No. 21 in the Associated Press Women's Basketball Top 25 poll. The Buffaloes have resided in the AP poll for the last five weeks, reaching as high as No. 20 on Dec. 31. CU's five week run in the AP poll is its longest since appearing in all 19 polls of the 2003-04 season. In the AP poll, the Buffaloes received 232 votes, their highest vote total of the season.
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 163rd time Colorado has appeared in the AP poll, trailing only Stanford, USC and UCLA among Pac-12 schools. This week's ranking marks the 153rd time Colorado has appeared in the coaches' poll dating back to the 1988-89 campaign.
Colorado will continue Pac-12 play by hosting the Arizona schools this week. Arizona State visits Boulder for a 7 p.m. game on Friday, Jan. 18, while the Buffaloes host Arizona on Sunday, Jan. 20, at 2 p.m. at the Coors Events Center.
