Women's hoops up to sixth in poll, Bonner named SEC player of the week

We take a break from this regularly scheduled football blog post to inform you that, hey, the Auburn women's basketball team is pretty darn good.

The Tigers are up to sixth in the latest Associated Press poll. They were ninth last week.

Also, forward DeWanna Bonner was named SEC Player of the Week for the second time this season. The senior scored 29 points in each of the Tigers' wins last week against South Carolina and No. 18 Florida. She had 11 rebounds against the Gators, making it her fifth double-double this season.

The Tigers (17-0, 2-0 SEC), who are off to their best start since going 28-0 to start the 1988-89 season, do not play again until Sunday, when they travel to Arkansas.

The real countdown is to the Jan. 25 showdown with perennial power Tennessee at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. If Auburn is still undefeated at that point, I can't imagine a more anticipated women's game here in recent memory, if ever.

Good job, ladies.

But, is is still only women's basketball, so not many people really care.
