Below are results of the IBCA girls’ basketball poll for Week 2 of the the 2025-26 season (Nov. 16, 2025).
The IBCA poll is a “non-class” poll, where teams are voted to a Top 20 regardless of school classification.
There are 22 panelists who vote for the poll — one voter each from the 16 regionals and six at-large voters (two each from IHSAA Districts 1, 2 and 3), including committee chairman Doug Springer of Northridge as a District 1 at-large voter.
This poll will be released on Sundays throughout the 2025-26 Indiana high school girls’ basketball season. The final poll for the season will be on Feb. 1, 2026, the Sunday following the completion of regular-season games.
IHSAA sectional games are scheduled Feb. 3-7, 2026. First place votes are in parentheses.
