After splitting a pair of home games against ranked Big Ten opponents last week, the Minnesota’s women’s basketball team jumped a spot in the Associated Press poll, to No. 22.

It’s the second appearance in the top 25 this season for the Gophers, who beat then-No. 10 Ohio State last Wednesday at Williams Arena before falling to then-No. 18 Michigan State on Sunday.

The Big Ten has seven teams ranked in this week’s poll. The others are No. 2 UCLA, No. 8 Michigan, No. 9 Iowa, No. 13 Ohio State, No. 14 Maryland and No. 15 Michigan State.

Washington and Illinois received votes. The Gophers end their regular season at Illinois on Sunday.
