Message: [QUOTE="RegisteredUconn, post: 2616801, member: 1477"] The NCAA first sanctioned a women's basketball tourney for the purpose of crowning a national champion in 1982. This year will mark the 37th iteration of this competition. Here are some facts about the first 36 years. [LIST] [*]286 different teams have participated. [*]1988 games have been played. [*]The highest score ever recorded was 121 points by Alabama in a quadruple overtime win over Duke. [*]The second highest score ever recorded was 120 points by Duke in a quadruple overtime loss to Alabama. [*]Three teams have scored fewer that 30 points in a game: [LIST] [*]In 2012, Kansas State scored 26 points. [*]In 2006, Southern scored 27 points. [*]In 2010, Long Island scored 29 points. [/LIST] [*]59 times teams have scored 100 or more points in a game. 57 of those teams won; 2 lost. In addition to Duke, Oklahoma scored 100 points but lost to a DePaul team that scored 104. [*]The largest margin of victory was 89 points in Baylor's 116-30 win over Texas Southern last year. [*]74 games are tied for the smallest margin of victory at 1 point. [*]55 times games have gone into overtime. 3 of those overtime games have gone multiple overtime periods. In addition to the 4 overtime epic between Duke and Alabama in 1995, Dayton needed 2 overtimes to subdue St. John's in 2013, as did Vanderbilt to best Kansas in 2000. Tennessee has played 6 overtime games followed by Notre Dame with 5 and Oklahoma State and UConn with 4 each. Tennessee has the most overtime wins with 5, followed by ND with 4, and Oklahoma State, George Washington, and Old Dominion with 3 each. UConn has the most losses with 4, all of which have come in the tournament semi-finals. (That's right, we've lost everyone of our overtime outings. Hope that makes all the haters feel better.;)) [/LIST] The table below lists the 31 teams that have played the most games in tournament history. The cutoff point for that last team included, Texas A&M, was made to include all 15 teams that have won at least 1 championship. [ATTACH=full]29258[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
