There's talk about doing it for the 35th women's.

So 2017?

I'll hope to stick around at least that long, and hope to be able to bemoan the Titan women having to wait forever for their next game!

Well... there is indications of something brewing maybe in 2015... UWSP only has the hosting for 2014 and while I can't get anything confirmed from those on the committee, the suspicion is that having the women do the same thing the men have done. I am under the impression that is the 35th Anniversary... but I thought it was happening far sooner than 2017.

Now, if the women do it... they will have hindsight on the men's side to thank. More time to plan it so it will maybe affect when the season starts, finishes, or when conference tournaments are run... so there is less time between the end of the season and the title game. The men were already stuck having this approved later than most thought it would be and schedules already set for the year.

The first NCAA women's b'ball championship was 1982. Prior to that it was the AIAW.

Yeah... I hear ya... I just thought the timeline was shorter.

The 2015 D1 Women's Final Four is at the Forum in Tampa Bay.

By my count the 35th anniversary would be 2016. The women's D1 Final Four is at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis that year.

Yeah - I took 1982 and added 35. But the 35th championship would be 2016.

We may have to wait several extra weeks to see that Hope/IWU showdown for the title!

Isn't that going to be really slippery with all that ice?

T minus THREE weeks until the Final!

I love how the D-3 tournament starts 2 weeks before the D-2 tournament does and 3 weeks before the D-1 tournament does, yet will end 3 hours before the D-2 does and about 17 hours before the D-1 ends.

Rough out for Ithaca. Accidental foul with six seconds to go and a one point lead. Middlebury hits both and wins by 1.

Amherst made short work of RMC; it seems like all the travel may have caught up with them - looked very lethargic out there in the first half.

Wooster apparently wasn't ready for the web traffic a Sweet Sixteen broadcast would bring. I can't get the thing to load for more than thirty seconds before it freezes.

Three NESCAC teams and Cabrini on to Salem, plus St. Mary's seems to have that game locked up, dominating from the opening tip.

Looks like the NCAA only has to pay for six flights to Salem. Not terrible.

Probably the worst broadcast I've seen online.

Sound was non-existent. Constantly buffered. It wasn't until late in the second half did I see the stream go longer than 30 seconds.

I had sound all the way through, even when the picture didn't come in. I also got the first 18 minutes without buffering and the last ten or so.

If that was the worst broadcast you've seen, you clearly skipped the Amherst game earlier. I had to mute it about two minutes in. Oof.

Hold your horses there, buddy. Morrisville has cut the deficit to 12 with ten minutes remaining. It's not over yet.
