The 40th annual tournament was played from March 19, 2008, to April 5, 2008, entirely on campus sites.
The remaining slots were filled by the WNIT Selection Committee.
Marquette defeated Michigan State, 81–66, to win the tournament.
The organizers attempt to bracket the first two rounds based on geography.
The location of games is determined in part by seed, but also by facility availability and other factors.
