Virginia entered the Top 25 for the first time in four seasons after coming off one of its most thrilling victories in years. The Cavaliers rallied from 15 points down Sunday to beat Georgia Tech 103-101 in double overtime, a win that carried Virginia to its first ranking — at No. 25 — since the preseason poll of the 2003-04 season. Connecticut remained the top choice in The Associated Press women's basketball poll Monday with 40 of the 50 first-place votes. The Huskies had a busy week, beating No. 6 LSU on Monday and rallying from a 17-point second half deficit to edge DePaul on Saturday night. Connecticut beat No. 4 Rutgers 66-46 Monday night for the Big East regular season title. The Scarlet Knights handed the Huskies their lone loss of the season on Feb. 5.
