On Tuesday morning, the Associated Press’ preseason women’s basketball Top 25 was released. The Michigan Wolverines, after one of their most successful seasons in history, occupies the 11th spot in the rankings.
Not only is this the third straight year the Wolverines have been ranked in the preseason poll, but it’s tied for their highest ranking ever. Michigan rose to No. 11 last January after a 10-0 start to the season.
The Wolverines had an inconsistent finish to the regular season after that strong start, missing weeks due to COVID-19 protocols, but picked things up and scored an upset win over No.
