The road to the Final Four starts with the 2018 Selection Show. Here’s what you need to watch the Selection Show on TV and online.
March Madness has arrived and the first stop in the 2018 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament is the 2018 Selection Show. This is where fans learn which teams will be going to the Big Dance and where they’ll be playing over the course of the next few weeks as the Road to the Final Four begins. We have everything you need to watch the 2018 Selection Show on television and online.
The Selection Show follows the conclusion of Championship Week. After all of the conference tournaments have wrapped up, the NCAA D-I Women’s Basketball Committee meets to decide which teams will be dancing. 32 of the teams have already punched their dance tickets after winning their conference tournaments and earning the automatic NCAA Tournament bid. The rest of the field is determined after carefully considering season records, strength of schedule and key wins and losses. Some bubble teams make it in while the bubble pops for others. Fans will see the Cinderella teams play their hearts out while top seeds continue their domination, but anything can happen during March Madness. Hence the name.
After Selection Monday, the Road to the Final Four begins. This year’s Final Four is in Columbus, Ohio. The last four teams standing play on March 30 and the National Championship game is on April 1.
