the committee announced the eventual switch to two regional sites in 2019 and named the host cities in 2020 in an attempt to maintain neutral sites for the regional rounds. |
Not sure why two host sites are more neutral than four, or why any SC site is neutral. Were they planning to send SCar to Seattle?
And....

... 2023 Women's Final Four in Dallas, which will host the second joint Division I, II and III women's basketball national championship games at the American Airlines Center over two days. |
Good that the Div II and III finals are included.

NCAA needs to move their asses out of Indiana and not have any championships here.
Same with Colts, NFL, Pacers, Fever, the RV manufacturing facilities, GM, Cummins, Eli Lilly, the orthopedic facilities, Vera Bradley, etc.

That's a strange statement about South Carolina when the NCAA has awarded UCONN by keeping them in Connecticut for years....

Looking at the 25 WBB NCAA Tournaments thus far held, I've found that:
The state of Tennessee has hosted BY FAR the most Regional AND Final Four sites for the tournament - The University of Tennessee has appeared in nine (9) Regionals over the years that were held in TN, and six (6) of those were held in either Stokely or TBA. Further, TWO (2) Final Four sites were also hosted in Tennessee's home arena.
There was also another NCAAT Regional hosted in Chattanooga in 2005, but the Lady Vols did NOT participate in that Regional, going to the Philadelphia Regional that tournament.
The state of Connecticut has held six (6) NCAAT Regionals, with only one (1) being in Storrs. They hosted two Regionals in a row I think in 2015 and 2016, although those were in Hartford or somewhere else in CT. - That may be the first time during the history of the WBB NCAAT that a particular team hosted in consecutive years, and may explain in part all the vitriol CT receives about getting favorable treatment by the NCAA.
South Carolina has hosted in its state twice - in 1997 and 2020. In '97, South Carolina did not make the tournament, and North Carolina was the #1 Seed of that regional. They lost to George Washington in the Sweet Sixteen. The 2020 Tournament as we all know was cancelled due to the pandemic....

Pretty sure there have been more than 25 WBB NCAA Tournaments. If you are counting 2020 then there have been 40.
