Illinois Preps Insider girls basketball top-20: 2019-20 season week five

I’m not going to bury the lead here, it was a very boring rankings week.

Everybody pretty much only played one game the week (if that) and the teams that did lose, lost to top-10 teams so no harm no foul there. Honestly, it was quite nice for my own sanity.

Next week however, will be a completely different story with the holiday tournaments, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.
