Tennessee continued its streak of making every NCAA women's basketball tournament at 32 consecutive appearances.

Kansas made the regional semifinals for the second year in a row as a double-digit seed, UConn made it into the Final Four for the sixth consecutive year, the longest such streak, and Louisville became the first team seeded lower than fourth in a region to advance to the championship game.

However, the NCAA moved the regional to Connecticut because of a recently passed state law allowing single-game betting for professional and collegiate games.

Kentucky vs. Navy, Oklahoma State vs. Duke, and Notre Dame vs. Iowa aired on ESPNU.

The only other game within single digit margin was 6 seed Oklahoma beating Central Michigan by five points.
