TCU has its best ranking ever in The Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll after a convincing win over Notre Dame.

South Carolina is starting the season at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 women's college basketball poll.

Azzi Fudd scored 22 of her career-high 32 points in the second half to help No. 5 UConn beat third-ranked Texas 83-76 in an early season showdown of top-ranked teams.

Jordan Horston scored 28 points with 15 rebounds, both career highs, Tamari Key had a triple-double and No. 16 Tennessee made 6 of 8 free throws in overtime to defeat No. 12 Texas 76-70.

That duo, along with Taylor Jackson, have been pulling on a Cypress Creek uniform for four years since their freshman campaign. This group of seniors – Harmon, Hunter, Jackson, Ri'yah Francis and Haleen Harris – won't be soon forgotten on the corner of Grant and Perry Road in Houston, Texas. I think they're role models for little girls at Bleyl, Campbell and Hamilton coming to Cy Creek. #txhshoops #UILState pic.twitter.com/zHeouFO8v8 — vypehouston (@vypehouston) March 12, 2021Of course, since their freshman year, Hunter and Harmon have been connected at the hip.

The timing of the Michael Jordan documentary this year was perfect, and it really correlates to Cypress Creek. The University of Texas-signees are back for their senior year and will pace this team. The TABC All-State selections led the team in scoring as Hunter averaged 20 points per game, while Harmon averaged 15.6 points per night. Taylor Jackson returns for her senior year as well after averaging 9.1 points and 6.9 rebounds per game last season. Other key returners include Ri'yah Francis (4.6 ppg, 3.8 rpg) and Krishawn Lee, who played in 34 games last season as a freshman.

Cy Creek's Rori Harmon has been a national basketball recruit since she was in middle school. Last year, the Cougars rolled through the regular season all the way to the state finals against super-power Duncanville. I really care about them and I want to know how their emotional state is, not just what they do on the basketball court." As sophomores, Harmon and Hunter led the Cougars to the Regional Finals but fell to Summer Creek. Harmon has that big, perfect smile of a killer on the basketball court.

Look one way and there was the TAPPS 6A State Champion Village School Vikings. Look the other way there was the Class 6A State Runner-Up Cypress Creek Cougars. Then there was George Ranch, Langham Creek, Atascocita, Foster, Summer Creek, North Shore and the list goes on and on of quality teams and talent on display. "It's definitely good for the girls game," Cypress Creek senior Rori Harmon, a Texas-commit, said. In one of the final games of the evening, Cypress Creek played Village School, which pitted Harmon against Jada Malone, a Texas A&M-commit.
