The Gophers (11-1) climbed to No. 24 in the Associated Press voting Monday, coming off a win at Penn State in their Big Ten opener. Minnesota was No. 23 in the AP preseason poll but lost its opener to Missouri State, which is now ranked No. 21.
Lindsay Whalen's Gophers haven't lost since, heading into Tuesday's home game against unranked Ohio State.
The two other Big Ten teams in the Top 25 are Maryland (No. 12) and Indiana (No. 14).
The Gophers jeopardized their shot at a No. 1 seed by failing to get out of the first round of the Big Ten tournament against last-place Notre Dame.
