Conference championship season is here for women’s college basketball.
Saturday marked the first championship games for conference tournaments, and Sunday saw Duke become the first Power Four school to win a conference title. As is the case every year, some bids will be stolen for the women’s NCAA Tournament by teams not currently on the radar, potentially stealing a conference championship to secure a bid.
Selection Sunday for the tournament is one week away. That’s when some teams will learn their postseason fate. Conference championships could play a large role in putting teams on the bubble in the tournament — or out of it entirely.
Entering play on Sunday, ESPN’s Charlie Creme had Iowa State, Washington, Princeton and Harvard as the last four in the tournament. Princeton and Harvard would need some help with some projected automatic qualifiers not making it, as they are in a less competitive league than others.
Virginia Tech, Saint Joseph’s, Minnesota and Arizona are the four teams in the next four out.
