American college basketball tournament March 2024 March 2026 Women's 2013 NCAA Women's Final Four logo.jpg 2013 64 Connecticut Huskies 8th 8th 14th Louisville Cardinals 2nd 2nd New Orleans Arena New Orleans, Louisiana California Golden Bears 1st Notre Dame Fighting Irish 5th Geno Auriemma 8th Breanna Stewart Connecticut The 2013 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament was played from March 23 through April 9, 2013. 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. For the first time in tournament history, the same four teams were #1 seeds as in the previous year. Tournament procedure NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament#Current tournament format Pending any changes to the format, a total of 64 teams will enter the 2019 tournament. 32 automatic bids shall be awarded to each program that wins their conference's tournament. The remaining 32 bids are "at-large", with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee. The tournament is split into four regional tournaments, and each regional has teams seeded from 1 to 16, with the committee ostensibly making every region as comparable to the others as possible.October 2021 The top-seeded team in each region plays the #16 team, the #2 team plays the #15, etc. (meaning where the two seeds add up to 17, that team will be assigned to play another). The Selection Committee will also seed the entire field from 1 to 64. Schedule and venues The format is similar to the men's tournament, except that there are 64 teams; this in turn means there is no "First Four" round. Thirty-one automatic bids for conference champions and 33 at-large bids were available. The subregionals were played from March 23 through March 26.

All other first and second round games aired on ESPN2 Game summaries Oklahoma City Regional Almost all first-round games were won by the higher-seeded team except for Creighton, the 10 seed who upset Syracuse 61–56. The top seed, Baylor won easily, by 42 points over Prairie View A&M. The only other game within single digit margin was 6 seed Oklahoma beating Central Michigan by five points. In the second round, three of the four games followed expectations, with the only upset being the 5 seed Louisville over 4 seed Purdue. In the third round, 2 seed Tennessee beat 6 seed Oklahoma as expected, but Louisville upset top seeded Baylor in a result some have called one of the greatest upsets in women's basketball history. Baylor won the national championship in 2012, going undefeated during the season, and had returned every starter. While they lost one game in the current regular season, point guard Odyssey Sims was injured early in that game. The team had not lost a game in two years when playing at full strength. Louisville, the third best team in the Big East, hit sixteen of 25 three-point attempts, and held Griner to 14 points, after she had averaged 33 points in the first two games.

Media coverage Television ESPN had US television rights to all games during the tournament. For the first and second round, ESPN aired select games nationally on ESPN, ESPNU, or ESPNews. All other games were aired regionally on ESPN or ESPN2 and streamed online via ESPN3. Most of the nation got whip-a-round coverage during this time, which allowed ESPN to rotate between the games and focus the nation on the one that was the closest. The regional semifinals were split between ESPN and ESPN2, and ESPN aired the regional finals, national semifinals, and championship match.Margolis Rachel March 19, 2013 ESPN Home to NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship Coverage http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2013/03/ncaawearlyrounds/ ESPN March 19, 2013 January 25, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140125055557/http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2013/03/ncaawearlyrounds/ dead Studio host and analysts Kevin Negandhi (Host) Kara Lawson (Analyst) Carolyn Peck (Analyst) Commentary teams First & Second Rounds Saturday/Monday Marc Kestecher and LaChina Robinson – College Park, Maryland Clay Matvick and Swin Cash – Columbus, Ohio Bob Wischusen and Nell Fortner – Knoxville, Tennessee Dave O'Brien and Doris Burke – Storrs, Connecticut Mark Jones and Fran Fraschilla – Boulder, Colorado Carter Blackburn and Maria Taylor – College Station, Texas Cara Capuano and Stephen Bardo – Lubbock, Texas Dave Flemming and Sean Farnham – Spokane, Washington Sweet Sixteen & Elite Eight Saturday/Monday Beth Mowins, Doris Burke, and Holly Rowe – Bridgeport, Connecticut Dave Pasch, Debbie Antonelli, and LaChina Robinson – Spokane, Washington Final Four Dave O'Brien, Doris Burke, Rebecca Lobo, and Holly Rowe – New Orleans, Louisiana First & Second Rounds Sunday/Tuesday Pam Ward and Rebecca Lobo – Newark, Delaware Joe Davis and Debbie Antonelli – Durham, North Carolina Melissa Lee and Brooke Weisbrod – Louisville, Kentucky Bob Picozzi and Rosalyn Gold-Onwude – Queens, New York Tom Hart and Krista Blunk – Baton Rouge, Louisiana Holly Rowe and Brenda VanLengen – Iowa City, Iowa Dave Pasch and Mary Murphy – Stanford, California Beth Mowins and Stephanie White – Waco, Texas Sweet Sixteen & Elite Eight Sunday/Tuesday Dave O'Brien, Stephanie White, and Jeannine Edwards – Norfolk, Virginia Pam Ward, Rebecca Lobo, and Maria Taylor – Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Championship Dave O'Brien, Doris Burke, Rebecca Lobo, and Holly Rowe – New Orleans, Louisiana Radio Dial Global Sports had exclusive radio rights from the regional finals on through the championship.
