South Dakota State has joined The Associated Press women's basketball poll for the first time. The Jackrabbits have a 12-1 record and enter the rankings at No. 25.

Connecticut remained a unanimous No. 1 for the fourth straight week Monday. This is the 113th time in school history the Huskies have been the top team in the poll. Connecticut matched Tennessee as the all-time leader of appearances at No. 1. North Carolina stayed at No. 2. Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma completed the top five.

You have to listen to the 12/17/08 webcast. At the end of the webcast "The little big game of the week" Beth and Debbie talk a little bit about the SDSU valpo game and beth even thinks that debbie should vote for state in the next poll (today's poll).

She is a Basketball analyst for Westwood One. No excuse. Wished we had an e-mail address!

Also, in that post she mentions Vicki Friedman who's been the biggest fan of the Jacks in the AP ballots thus far.

Re: AP poll

Maybe she thought San Diego State's 7-3 record was worth a #25 spot

Re: AP poll

Not that I know for sure but she could have just put "SDSU" down in her ballot and the person who tallied the votes might have mis-interpreted it. Just a thought.

The other SDSU has a Sagrins rating of 91 and a 7-3 record

Re: AP poll

I was going through some of the voting. Looks like one of the AP Poll voters got us confused with the other SDSU.

Re: AP poll

This is terrific, and it was important to get the SDSU name in the poll now, because although our RPI today is pretty high, it will do nothing but drop the rest of the season. But now that we've gotten in and don't have a major meltdown in the next few weeks, this team should be able to stay in the poll and climb (probably slowly, but still climb) as the win total continues to add up during the season.

Because of our conference being poorly rated, I don't know how far the Jacks could climb in the poll even if they win most of the remaining games. Any thoughts?

Re: AP poll

I don't think that just Jack Fans have noticed that we deserve to be there. I have been around a few boards (I know gasp horror, the time wasted ) and I would say that most knowledgeable fans have taken note... there are still the uneducated ones who think it is some kind of a joke... but most respect what we have been doing over the transition and into this year.

I just think there were the doubters that have not been willing to give us the votes before now... so not sure about this but are the Jacks gaining about 30? points a week in the poll.. over the last month.. I should go check the real numbers but at the begining of december weren't we at like 17 points... then 40 something? then 70 something .. now 114? reflects well on the AP voters starting to learn who the SD State Jackrabbits are

Congratulations Ladies... it is overdue and well deserved.
