Can No. 1 seed Baylor advance to be the "home" team at the Women's Final Four in Dallas? The path for the Lady Bears is geographically friendly: They'll be at home in Waco, Texas, for the early rounds. The regional is just four hours' drive north in Oklahoma's capital city. Then if they advance to Dallas, that's just about an hour and a half from the Baylor campus.
But the Lady Bears are coming into the NCAA tournament off a loss for the first time since 2010 after falling to West Virginia in the Big 12 tourney final on the same Chesapeake Energy Arena floor where this regional will be played.
