The Wildcats climbed to No. 2, behind Stanford, as the top tier experienced a shakeup.
Comment: The Cougars naturally improved with star Charlisse Leger-Walker’s return from New Zealand and also were more sound defensively in their second rivalry meeting. They held Washington to 30 points less than the Huskies scored in an 82-66 win on Dec. 11 and allowed just one double-figure scorer .Comment: Even without Kadi Sissoko, the Trojans arguably should have beaten UCLA, carrying a 52-40 lead into the fourth quarter.
Comment: ASU lost seven straight games, including a forfeit, at the end of last season and needs a win at one of the Mountain schools to avert matching that streak. Tyi Skinner had two more 20-point games last week, playing 40 minutes in both. The Delaware transfer has 10 games with at least 20 points in her first ASU season and double figures in every game.
