Ayanna Patterson of Homestead, looks for an outlet during a lopsided 66-32 victory for the Carmel High School girls basketball team over Homestead High School, Carmel, Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020.

Here is this week's Indiana Basketball Coaches Association poll.

The IBCA poll is a "non-class" poll, with the top-20 teams ranked regardless of classification. The voting body consists of one voter from each of the 16 regionals, three at-large voters (one each from IHSAA districts 1-3) and the committee chair, Northridge's Doug Springer.

Here is this week's poll. Teams are listed with 1st-place votes in parentheses, followed by points, record and previous ranking.
