The Irish are again No. 3 in ESPN's women's college basketball Power Rankings this week and are a No. 1 seed in Bracketology.

All 16 teams are in action Thursday: South Carolina begins conference play at Missouri (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network), and league newcomers Texas and Oklahoma square off (9 p.m. ET, ESPN2).
