West Texas A&M is one of five undefeated teams remaining in DII.
The most recent WBCA Coaches Poll was more of the same. Ashland remained queens of the DII women's basketball world, holding on to its No. 1 spot for more than a year straight.
Five seems to be the magic number in this week's Top 25. Just how did this week's poll shape out?
The Top 25 by the numbers:
