Yes, at least historically. The referees that work the Regional rounds work one game each, either S16 or E8. Then the select ones move on to work either the National Semifinals or Final.
Holly Rowe had a great 10-minute interview recently with Azzi. You could probably find it on YouTube. Don't miss the shocker at about the 8-minute mark where Azzi reveals what she does to relieve her nerves before gametime. I think if enough people watch this video, we'd actually have a new tee-shirt to replace Nika's "Everybody Eats" in popularity.

I like Holly Rowe.
Thanks for inserting the link. Someday I will how to do that on my phone.Thankfully, I will be at the games in Bridgeport but when I get home, listening to the Wichita region could be painful.
Here's the full link.
2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament TV and Announcer Schedule
ESPN’s exclusive coverage of the NCAA Division I Women’s Championship begins Wednesday, March 16 with the First Four. March Madness action is presented across ESPN networks, with games available on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and
Spokane has Mowins/Antonelli
Wichita has Ward/White
Greensboro has the aforementioned Caroline "NCAA Title winner" Peck/Lyle
Bridgeport has Lobo/Rucco
Nothing against them personally, just poor production by ESPN. If ESPN wants to use their commercial breaks to have the sideline reporters give their reports and tell meaningless stories, fine, but too many times they do it right in the middle of game action.
Two of the officials I want are # 1 of the 3 things I want to see for the game. Dee Kantner is not on that list. Everyone is invited to join me in chanting “No Dee Kantner”. Again “No Dee Kantner”. Again ...... Denise Brooks and Maj Forsberg are two of the best.
her brother dick was good announcing ice skating
My favorite color analysts: Doris Burke and Kara Lawson. I like Brooke Weisbrod too.
Probably part of the studio rotation.
We get the #1 team because they anticipate a UConn-NCST final. I don't care who we play. Let's just concentrate on tomorrow. Christyn said as much in her interview.
I've always liked Holly and 'Drea, still in her 20's is becoming one of the best.
I do too. When watching some of her longer interviews with players, it’s clear that she is all in with whomever she is interviewing. She puts players at ease. She exudes joy and confidence in the player. Everyone should have a Holly Rowe in their lives. She just makes me happy, and I don’t actually care about the content she brings. Who she is everything.
You must joking--Doris Burke is one of the truly best b-ball analysts--male or female--that's why she's doing NBA games...Probably/hopefully she's (with Dave O'Brien) out to pasture
Lisa Byington became 1st female NBA team PBP announcer for Milwaukee Bucks this season, followed shortly thereafter by Kate Scott in Philadelphia.
And you just proved my point. I have not watched the NBA since the late 80s and stopped watching MBB in the mid 90s. IMO, it was not basketball anymore. But we don’t need to discuss this subject anymore. I just felt like Doris became bigger than the players/teams she was talking about. Sorry.
Thanks heavens. My only beef is that Ward and White discussed lots of off-topic stuff. That's fine during time outs or when the refs are reviewing a play on the monitors but not during the actual play.
I have to give you that on NBA viewing, mine has dwindled down to next to nothing as well. What I was saying in regards to Doris Burke is that in the hierarchy of TV b-ball analysts, doing NBA games is the top perch so Burke must be well-received with her assignment to the NBA and a largely male audience.
Point taken.
