With the help of two games on their home court and a regional held less than two miles away, the #11-seeded Bulldogs became the lowest seed ever to make a regional final in the history of the women's tournament.http://espn.go.com/ncw/recap?gameId=310850097 https://web.archive.org/web/20121106090817/http://espn.go.com/ncw/recap?gameId=310850097 dead November 6, 2012 Courtney Vandersloot, Gonzaga hold off Louisville to earn Elite 8 trip Associated Press ESPN March 26, 2011 April 22, 2011 Coincidentally, #11 seed VCU reached the men's Final Four, the third #11 to advance that far since the men's tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. LSU, which reached five consecutive Final Fours from 2004 to 2008, did not qualify for the first time since 1998. Tournament procedure NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament#Current tournament format Sixty-four teams entered the 2011 tournament. Thirty automatic bids were extended to the champions of conference tournaments, with a 31st going to the regular season champion of the Ivy League. The remaining 33 bids were "at-large", with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee. The tournament was split into four regional tournaments, and each region had 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 also seeded the entire field from 1 to 64. 2Schedule and venues There were 64 teams in the tournament, placed in a seeded bracket with four regions. Thirty-two teams received automatic bids – thirty-one of which were their conference tournament champions; the other was for the Ivy League regular-season champion. An additional 32 teams were given at-large bids by the selection committee on the basis of their body of work during the regular season. Unlike the men's tournament, there was no "First Four" round.

For the first and second round, ESPN aired select games nationally on ESPN or ESPNU. All other games were aired regionally on ESPN2 and streamed online via ESPN3. Most of the nation got whip-around 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 14, 2011 ESPN Networks to Air All 63 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship Games http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2011/03/espn-networks-to-air-all-63-ncaa-division-i-women%E2%80%99s-basketball-championship-games/ ESPN March 14, 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20140328094943/http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2011/03/espn-networks-to-air-all-63-ncaa-division-i-women%E2%80%99s-basketball-championship-games/ March 28, 2014 dead Studio host & analysts Trey Wingo (host) Kara Lawson (analyst) Carolyn Peck (analyst) Commentary teams First & second rounds Saturday/Monday Jon Sciambi and Stephen Bardo – Columbus, OH Dave Flemming and Kayte Christensen – Durham, NC Dave O'Brien and Debbie Antonelli – Knoxville, TN Justin Kutcher and Brenda VanLengen – University Park, PA Clay Matvick and Tamika Raymond – Albuquerque, NM Holly Rowe and Sean Farnham – Salt Lake City, UT Marc Kestecher and Krista Blunk – Spokane, WA Dave Pasch and Mary Murphy – Stanford, CA Sweet Sixteen & Elite Eight Saturday/Monday Dave Flemming, Rebecca Lobo, and Todd Harris – Dayton, OH Dave Pasch, Debbie Antonelli, and Heather Cox – Spokane, WA Final Four Dave O'Brien, Doris Burke, Rebecca Lobo, and Holly Rowe – Indianapolis, IN First & second rounds Sunday/Tuesday Beth Mowins and Rosalyn Gold-Onwude – Charlottesville, VA Bob Wischusen and Brooke Weisbrod – Cincinnati, OH Bob Picozzi and Rebecca Lobo – College Park, MD Mark Jones and Doris Burke – Storrs, CT Cara Capuano and LaChina Robinson – Auburn, AL Carter Blackburn and Fran Fraschilla – Shreveport, LA Pam Ward and Stephanie White – Waco, TX Dan McLaughlin and Abby Waner – Wichita, KS Sweet Sixteen & Elite Eight Sunday/Tuesday Dave O'Brien, Doris Burke, and Holly Rowe – Philadelphia, PA Pam Ward, Stephanie White, and Beth Mowins – Dallas, TX Championship Dave O'Brien, Doris Burke, Rebecca Lobo, and Holly Rowe – Indianapolis, IN See also NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship 2011 NCAA Women's Division II basketball tournament 2011 Women's National Invitation Tournament 2011 Women's Basketball Invitational 2011 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament 2011 NAIA Division I men's basketball tournament 2011 NAIA Division II men's basketball tournament References First, Second round Sites For 2011 Tourney Announced https://www.ncaa.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/102909aaa.html October 30, 2009 August 2019 InternetArchiveBot yes Nixon Rick Official 2012 NCAA Women's Final Four Records Book http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/WFF12.pdf NCAA April 22, 2012 November 7, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151107014710/http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/WFF12.pdf dead External links NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Category:NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament NCAA Category:College basketball tournaments in Indiana Category:2010s in Indianapolis Category:Women's sports in Indianapolis Category:2011 in sports in Indiana
