New York, NY (My Sportsbook) - Connecticut was once again selected the unanimous choice as the top-ranked women's basketball team, according to the latest Associated Press poll released on Monday.

North Carolina (9-0) kept the second slot for the third straight week and was followed by Stanford, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Notre Dame, California and Baylor.
