Stanford falls from the ranks of the undefeated, bettered by Gonzaga. The ACC\/SEC Challenge and Jimmy V Women\u2019s Classic also produced some informative outcomes, including South Carolina surviving challenges from UNC and Duke. <\/p>\n

The 2023-24 women\u2019s college hoops season continues to gift us great games and memorable moments. Here\u2019s the best on-court happenings from Monday, Nov. 27 to Sunday, Dec. 3.<\/p>\n

Upset hour<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No. 3 Stanford (8-1) is undefeated no more, as Gonzaga (8-2) punctured the Cardinal\u2019s perfect record with a rollicking home win. It also appears No. 25 Princeton\u2019s stay in the top 25 will be short lived, as the Tigers (5-3) were taken down by the Rams of Rhode Island (6-3). <\/p>\n

It also was a bad week for the big schools in Mississippi. After both dropping home games as part of the ACC\/SEC Challenge (see more below), the No. 19 Rebels (6-3) and No. 21 Bulldogs (8-2) both suffered a second-straight upset loss. <\/p>\n

Gonzaga 96, No. 3 Stanford 78<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A 32-16 third quarter, along with matching 27-point performances from senior forward Yvonne Ejim and senior guard Brynna Maxwell, propelled the Zags to the authoritative upset, 96-78<\/a>. Third-ranked Stanford is the highest-ranked opponent Gonzaga has ever defeated, while the Bulldogs also handed the Cardinal their worst loss since 2020. The Cardinal received limited contributions from star senior forward Cameron Brink, who played only 11 minutes due to an illness. Brink did manage to go 4-for-4 from the floor, scoring 10 points and grabbing six rebounds before exiting. <\/p>\n
