No ranked team lost to an unranked team in the first week of women's college basketball, but there were still some upsets.

DePaul guard Ally Timm was named the Big East Freshman of the Week as she averaged 20.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 1.5 assists in two games. Timm had 28 points in a win over Valparaiso and 13 points in a loss to UNLV.

Vanderbilt women's basketball remained at No. 19 in the AP Poll after defeating Cal in its season opener in the Oui-Play Paris event. The Commodores (1-0) won that game, 74-65, as Mikayla Blakes scored 27 points. Their home opener against Furman is at Memorial Gymnasium on Nov. 10 (6 p.m. CT, SEC Network).

TCU women’s basketball beat Sam Houston State 88-46 on Sunday to improve to 2-0 and extended its home winning streak to 26 games, a record that dates back to last season. Guard Olivia Miles nearly posted a double-double with 22 points and nine assists. Fellow guard Donovyn Hunter had a career-high 20 points to go with six assists and five rebounds.

The UConn women’s basketball team leaned heavily on its full-court press against Florida State, and it paid off on both ends of the floor.

Following two cruise-control wins to start the year, Iowa women’s basketball remains at No. 21 in the latest Associated Press poll released Nov. 10.

UConn star Sarah Strong was named Big East Player of the Week after leading the Huskies to a 2-0 start in Week 1 of the 2025-26 season.
