Week 7 A-10 Women’s Basketball Power Rankings

We are down to the final half-week of non-conference play, and we have simultaneously arrived at the start of conference play! We kick things off on Wednesday as Saint Louis hosts Loyola Chicago in the Ramblers’ inaugural Atlantic 10 game! We have one change in the rankings this week, as Rhode Island reclaims their spot at #2, thanks to an impressive performance at Wake Forest. Rhody has one final opportunity on Wednesday for a Quad 1 non-conference win as they travel to face Princeton. We’re about to kick this season into high gear, who’s ready?

Also! Be on the lookout later on this week for my annual A10WBB conference play preview post!
