NCAA to announce women’s basketball hosting sites a day before bracket

One of the most unique things about the NCAA Women’s Tournament versus the men’s is that the the First Four as well as the First and Second Rounds are hosted by the highest seeded schools instead of at neutral sites. It actually follows the standard of pretty much all of the other postseason championships that the NCAA puts on—most tournaments don’t get to neutral sites until you are in the Semifinals. The men’s tournament is the only one, really, that has neutral sites for every round.

While officials with the NCAA are discussing tournament expansion on the men’s side, they are also talking about items with the women’s tournament.
