We’re approaching the home stretch of the Big 12 Women’s Basketball season and, for the moment, it appears that it’s going a four-team race at the end of the year.

In the latest AP Top 25 Poll, TCU (20-2) maintained their spot as the Big 12’s highest-ranked team at No. 9 after following their loss to Oklahoma State with an 80-75 win over then-No. 25 Baylor. Meanwhile, the Bears (16-5) dropped out of the poll after the loss.

 

Kansas State (19-2) fell one spot to No. 11 after their 63-53 loss to Colorado, the Wildcats’ first game without leading scorer, Ayoka Lee.

West Virginia fell a whopping five spots after their 77-62 loss at Arizona, bringing the Mountaineers to No. 21 in the poll and in fifth place in the Big 12 standings.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma State (17-3) jumped into the Top 25 at No. 24 after handing TCU just its second loss of the year and then beating Texas Tech on the road. The Pokes have a crucial stretch ahead of them in the coming week, with a road trip to West Virginia followed by a home game against Kansas State.

In case you missed the action this weekend, here are the biggest takeaways from the games, courtesy of our very own Matthew Postins.
