Selection Sunday is rapidly approaching for women’s college basketball.
The women’s tournament has the same number of teams as the men’s after a First Four was added for the tournament last season. We’ll have a total of 68 NCAA Tournament teams; 32 of them will be automatic qualifiers from squads that win their conference tournaments and the other 36 will be teams that are awarded at-large bids from the selection committee based on resume.
ESPN will air a Selection Sunday show for the women’s bracket at 8 p.m. EST on March 12.
In order to keep track of which teams have already made it to the postseason, check out the running list below. This will be updated as conference tournaments finish.
A handful of teams will dance in March for the first time ever, or for the first time in a while. Cleveland State won the Horizon League to make its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 13 years, and Saint Louis – coached by Rebecca Tillett, who guided Longwood to the tourney last year – will compete in March Madness for the first time in program history. Monmouth won the CAA to punch its ticket to the dance for the first time since 1983.
Other teams, like ACC Champion Virginia Tech, could be in line to have their highest seed in program history.
