The Gamecocks have been No.  1 for 29 consecutive weeks.  They were followed in the poll by Stanford and Ohio State, which rally to beat Illinois on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>UConn moved up one spot to fourth.  The Huskies had their game against DePaul on Sunday postponed when they had only six scholarship players available because of injuries.<\/p>\n<p>LSU moved up two spots to fifth.  It&#8217;s the first time the Tigers have been that high since Dec.  14, 2009, when they were also fifth.  LSU (16-0) is off to the best start in school history, besting the mark held by the 2002-03 team that won its first 15 games.<\/p>\n<p>South Carolina, Ohio State and LSU are the only remaining unbeaten teams in the country.  The Gamecocks and Tigers meet on Feb.  12 in South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Indiana, Notre Dame, UCLA, Maryland and Utah rounded out the top 10. The Utes lost their first game of the season, falling at Colorado on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The Illini, who haven&#8217;t made the NCAA tournament since 2003, ended a 14-game losing streak last week to Northwestern.  That gave Illinois 14 wins in its first 16 games, which was the best start ever for the school.  Its losses have come to Indiana, Ohio State and Delaware.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you would have told me in the summer we&#8217;d be up 17 at Ohio State and have a chance to win, I&#8217;d tell you you were crazy,&#8221; Green said.  &#8220;Perspective changes really quickly. [Getting ranked] is something we got to be happy about.  Be proud of it.  It has to motivate us even more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Villanova also reentered the poll this week coming in at No.  25. The Wildcats had a five-week run in the poll earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>st.  John&#8217;s and Creighton fell out of the poll.<\/p>\n<p>RISING BEARS<\/p>\n<p>Baylor moved to 3-0 in the Big 12 after knocking off then-No.  17 Oklahoma and No.  21 Kansas last week.  Caitlin Bickle was a big reason, posting double-doubles in both games.
