COLUMBUS – It was a rough week for the Buckeyes, who lost all three of their games and tumbled down the AP Top 25 as a result.

Previously unbeaten Ohio State fell from second to 10th in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll released Monday after losing to Iowa and Indiana, two top 10 teams, as well as Purdue. Ohio State fell two games back in the Big Ten Conference standings.

South Carolina remained No. 1 for the 32nd consecutive week and Stanford moved back up to No. 2 in the poll, followed by LSU, Indiana and UConn in the top five.

Iowa jumped out four spots to sixth with Utah, Maryland and Notre Dame coming in ahead of Ohio State.
