Via gopher5, Tracy Schultz at SI.com has a new set of power rankings. The Vols still sit at #1.
Candace Parker has proven to be worth the wait. She leads the unbeaten Lady Vols with 15.6 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Shanna Zolman (14.6 ppg.) continues to be a big threat from outside while sophomore guard Alexis Hornbuckle is putting up 11.4 points a game. With that kind of balance, it's no wonder the Lady Vols beat their first five opponents so badly, winning by an average of 27.8 points.
Yesterday's AP poll brought a couple of surprises. Texas Tech, which has four losses including two to unranked teams, somehow managed to stay in the top 25.
