COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Missouri coach Robin Pingeton and South Carolina's Dawn Staley say they want the focus of Monday's night game solely on the court. That seems impossible given the fiery aftermath of the last meeting between these women's basketball programs a year ago.

Staley sued Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk for defamation and the parties settled with Staley receiving $50,000.
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Six teams in the top 10 of the AP Top 25 lost in the past week to set the stage for significant movement in the next college basketball poll.
