North Carolina slipped five spots in the AP Top 25 women’s basketball poll after Sunday’s 82–76 loss to Georgia Tech in their ACC opener to a season-low No. 19.

The Yellow Jackets (11–0, 1–0 ACC) rocketed up eight spots to No. 17 after the victory. The previous low ranking this season for UNC (10–2, 0–1) was No. 16 for three consecutive weeks from Nov. 18 to Dec. 2.

The Tar Heels try to rebound at 6:30 Wednesday at Charlotte’s Spectrum Center against Florida in the third Jumpman Invitational. The Gators (7–4) come off a 93–65 home win on Sunday against Longwood.
