Flournoy said. But we cant become complacent. Were there, now they have to understand we have to work harder.Notre Dame and UConn still sit atop the poll with the Irish remaining No. 1.

NEW YORK -- After a busy eight days, Auburn coach Terri Williams-Flournoy gave her team a much needed day off.The Tigers won four of the five games in that stretch with the lone loss coming against No. 16 West Virginia. That was good enough to get Auburn ranked Monday for the first time since 2009, when the Tigers entered The Associated Press womens basketball poll at No. 23.I think it shows them what their hard work can do, Williams-Flournoy said. But we cant become complacent. Were there, now they have to understand we have to work harder.Notre Dame and UConn still sit atop the poll with the Irish remaining No. 1. They received 16 first place ballots with the Huskies getting 14. Third-ranked South Carolina garnered the other three from a 33-member national media panel. Baylor and Maryland each moved up one spot to round out the first five teams.Mississippi State, Louisville, Florida State, Ohio State and UCLA are the next five teams.Auburn, which was last ranked seven years ago, will visit Kansas State on Thursday. Coach Williams-Flournoy said shed let her team enjoy the ranking for a day.Ill let them celebrate today and crush them tomorrow, she said laughing. Its like you enjoy your birthday for one day, have the cake and ice cream and then the next day its done.The Tigers came into the season after a banner year which saw their return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009. They advanced to the second round and picked up a pair of wins over Top 25 teams. With most players returning, Auburn was envisioned to have a great season.Our expectations were that we expected to be good, Williams-Flournoy said. Its not an option if we should be or maybe, were expected to be good, expected to go back to the NCAA Tournament. Doing something mediocre and something smaller isnt an option.Joining Auburn in the poll this week for the first time this season were Colorado (21) and Texas A&M (25). Arizona State, Michigan State and Gonzaga all fell out.Other tidbits from the Top 25 this week:CLIMBING BULLDOGS: Mississippi State has its best ranking ever as the SEC power moved up to No. 6 after sweeping through the Rainbow Wahine Showdown. The Bulldogs returned all five starters and 90 percent of their scoring from last season when the team reached as high as seventh in the poll before losing to UConn in the NCAA Tournament.RISING BLUE DEMONS: No. 15 DePaul reached its best ranking since the final poll of 2011 when the team was 10th. The Blue Demons lost to then-No. 5 Baylor before routing then-No. 11 Syracuse in the Gulf Coast Showcase over the weekend. The schedule doesnt get any easier with a game at UConn on Thursday before hosting Notre Dame on Dec. 10.TIP-INS: With Auburn and Texas A&M entering the Top 25 this week, seven teams from the SEC are ranked. South Carolina (3), Mississippi State (6), Kentucky (17), Florida (19) and Tennessee (22). ... Syracuse had the biggest drop, falling nine places to No. 20 after losses to Ohio State and DePaul.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg---The poll and how the pollsters voted can be found online at: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/ap-women...all-poll-week-4 Nike NFL Jerseys From China .

NAPLES, Fla. -- A friend of Cristie Kerr just happened to get a new job, and shes hoping to get a chance to call and congratulate him.Thing is, its a little tough to get the next president of the United States on the phone.Kerr is a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump and considers her occasional golfing buddy a friend. She made an appearance on his reality show The Apprentice and had a relationship of sorts with the Trump Golf brand. She has held honorary membership at his courses for years.And now, shes thrilled that hes about to become First Golfer.I havent talked to him. I havent had a chance to congratulate him, Kerr said as she prepared for Thursdays start of the LPGA season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, which she won last year. I just still cant believe hes president-elect of the United States. I mean, every time I say it, its like, Wow. Really? Its just so shocking, all these protests around the country. Its a fair and square election. Everyone got to vote.Trump has a longstanding relationship with pro golf, some of it good, some not so good.He has hosted mens and womens events in the past, although his course in Doral, Florida, near Miami is off this seasons PGA Tour schedule for the first time in more than 50 years -- mainly because no sponsor could be found to support a tournament there. During a break in his campaign during the spring, Trump said he played a quick nine holes with LPGA player Lexi Thompson.Trump has said his being president would help golf.I love golf. I love playing it. Its a very important game, Trump said at Doral earlier this year. Its a great game. You can learn so much. You make so many great friends by playing it. But I will say this: It wont be good for my game, but itll be great for golf.dddddddddddd.His Trump National course in New Jersey is scheduled to host next years U.S. Womens Open, although three Democratic U.S. senators asked last month to have it moved elsewhere. The United States Golf Association has not moved the event, but those who run the game have expressed concern over Trumps polarizing comments.The USGA, PGA Tour, LPGA and PGA of America released a joint statement in 2015 to distance themselves from Trumps explosive remarks about Mexican immigrants when he announced his campaign for president. Those comments complicated matters when it came time to try to find a new sponsor for Doral.Trump repelled large swaths of the populace, including women and minorities, with his deeply divisive rhetoric during the campaign, but Kerr believes his corporate savvy will benefit the country.The person that Ive known over the years, he always does what he says hes going to do and he surrounds himself with really smart people, Kerr said. Im really happy for him. I hope people will grow to understand that he is a man of his word and he can get things done. Hopefully hell be the CEO of this country like hes been the CEO of his businesses.Kerrs relationship with Trump goes back more than a decade. She defended him last year and said that some of her LPGA colleagues are big fans of his, as well.I dont think people understand how moderate he is, Kerr said. Hes fiscally conservative. He wants to get the country back on track. But hes a little bit socially liberal from some aspects. Hopefully people can get to know him. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
