The Field of 64

By Jonathan Tannenwald

Before I start this, breaking news that Jody Conradt has stepped down as the head women's coach at the University of Texas. More to come on this, no doubt; it is certainly notable that the Longhorns have missed out on the Big Dance for the second season in a row.

You probably already know this, but in case you don't, the field of 64 for teams for this year's NCAA Women's Tournament follows.

Here is a printable bracket you can use to chart your picks, courtesy of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
