UConn dropped to 17th in the Associated Press Top 25 women's basketball poll Monday, its worst ranking in 30 years. The last time the Huskies were ranked this low was the second poll of the 1993-94 season when they were 18th.

The drop also ended a 357-week stretch of being ranked in the top 15, which was the second longest in the history of the poll, which dates to 1977 (Tennessee had 428 consecutive appearances).

First-place votes in parentheses. While Geno Auriemma's team has struggled so far this season because of injuries, South Carolina remained the unanimous No.

1 choice in voting by 35 members of a national media panel. The Gamecocks swept a pair of games over North Carolina and Duke last week.

I'm a Rangers loving darts star and had plan to give Prince William an Ibrox gift when Fallon Sherrock received her MBE

A darts player who loves Rangers wanted to gift the future king a club keyring – and asked his partner to hand it to him when she was getting an MBE. Cameron Menzies came up with the cheeky plan as his girlfriend Fallon Sherrock prepared to collect her gong from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle last month. Fallon was being honoured for her services to darts. She made history by becoming the first female to win a match at the PDC World Darts Championship in 2019. Cameron said: “I was given a Rangers keyring and it’s in the house. I wanted Fallon to give it to Prince William. I’m sure he doesn’t care about Rangers, as he’s an Aston Villa fan, but if I had gone to Windsor Castle with her to get the MBE, I would definitely have worn a Rangers top and kilt.”
