COLOMBIA – The South Carolina women’s basketball team fell slightly in the Associated Press Women’s Top 25, but remained in the Top 5.

The Gamecocks dropped from second to fifth after a defeat in Tennessee, but a victory over Kentucky. The USC hosts Ole Miss on Thursday before a massive game at No. 3 Texas A&M on Sunday, which is likely to decide the SEC regular season championship and the No. 1 seed for the SEC tournament.
