The WNIT Tournament teams have been announced. This year 64 teams will be allowed and starting March 21st, the regionals will host the games.
Unlike the NCAA Women’s Tournament, the WNIT has more trouble with TV coverage. Therefore, local channels are likely to broadcast the games.
View the first round schedule.
Try watching the WNIT online with a satellite tv program on your computer. Using free websites are ok, but they are slow, sluggish and not exactly worth the time.
For March Madness you can get discounts, there’s a $20/off the normal price of $49.99 offered now. You can not only watch the WNIT but also, NIT, NCAA Men’s and Women’s NCAA Tournament Online

The WBI is here!
I had no idea… I inadvertently slipped up and left out information on the Inaugural Women’s Basketball Invitational. My apologies… as I was told, “Post Season is Post Season.”
So True. I can’t agree more. Especially for young teams, any teams. No better way to set yourself up for a future run in the Big Dance than to make sure you are still playing in late March. No matter what the tournament. I never agreed with the critics that said, “I wouldn’t play in the NIT, WNIT, CBI or now the WBI.”
Why not? Kids want to play games! It’s post season. There’s practice, preparation, competition. Another group of student-athletes get to cut the nets down, still another learn lessons from losing in the championship. All things that we are trying to teach and simulate in practice, but can’t. No matter the tournament, this is valuable stuff.
If your school does not want to participate because it is going to provide extra expense to the athletic department budget, that’s understandable in these economic times. It also should make you look at the overall commitment to women’s basketball, your team, your program. It’s part of March Madness… Let them play!
The 16-team field is headlined by #1 seeds Memphis in the West and Appalachian State in the East. All eight first round games will be played on campus sites either March 17 or 18 with the winners advancing to the second round on March 20 or 21. The WBI semifinals are March 24 or 25 on campus sites with the championship game slated for March 28 or 29 at the site of the highest remaining seed.
Here you go… WBI Central! Enjoy and good luck to all!

Now I can honestly say, I miss everything about being on a coaching staff this season. This time of year is phenomenal… prep work, practices, film sessions, planning, extra shooting with players, the anticipation – everything!
I missed those things during the year and I am anxious to return to coaching next year, but the traveling I did was something everyone in coaching should get an opportunity to do.
For those “grinding it out,” Good Luck!
The 2010 WNBA Mock Draft got a lot of you going! Fantastic comments and debates going back and forth the last 4 days. ABR has had over 3,500 visits in the last 3+ days! Thank You!
