Texas falls, LSU rises six spots in women's basketball coaches poll

Texas dropped to No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports women's college basketball poll after suffering its first loss of the season Sunday, Jan. 11 to LSU.

The Tigers moved up six spots in the poll, from No. 12 to No. 6 after the victory. UConn continues to hold down the top spot in the poll followed by South Carolina, UCLA, Texas and Vanderbilt.

It doesn't get any easier for the Longhorns this week, as they travel to No. 2 ranked South Carolina on Thursday, Jan. 15. Coach Vic Schaefer voiced his displeasure with the schedule after the Texas game.

"They obviously have a vendetta against Texas because not only have we started in the league, and I get to play South Carolina twice last year, this year, I get LSU twice," Schaefer said."I have to play South Carolina on the road this year, as well as LSU. I get them back-to-back in the same week. Now, make that make sense."
