Notes on the bracket: | ||
---|---|---|
Seeds and locations are not matched yet. The committee matches seeds with locations after it fills out the bracket on Selection Monday. | ||
Unlike the men's tournament, women's teams that host the first and second round not only can play at their host site, they are required to play there. However, regional hosts cannot play at their host site, so that means Dayton cannot be in the Dayton regional, and Memphis cannot be in the Memphis bracket. | ||
Conferences with more than one bid:

Last four in: Fresno St, Georgia Tech, NC State, Old Dominion. Close, but NIT (Not In Tournament): Gardner-Webb, Illinois St, Maryland, UA Little Rock. | ||
