Filling Out Those Dance Cards
One day after the men's brackets were released, the women's brackets were announced.
As has been expected for some time now, the field of 65 will not be including the Lady Lions.
Four Big Ten teams made the field. Iowa as a No.9 seed in the New Orleans Region, Ohio State as a No.6 seed in the New Orleans Region, Purdue as a No.9 seed in the Oklahoma City Region, and Minnesota as a No.9 seed in the Greensboro Region.
Four other Lady Lion opponents from this season made the tournament. Duke (No.3 seed in Oklahoma City Region), Old Dominion (No.5 seed in the Greensboro Region), Pittsburgh (No.6 seed in Spokane Region) and Syracuse (No.7 seed in Oklahoma City Region)
