 Before 2006, the women's matchups were made in a selection show airing one hour before the men's matchups.However, beginning in 2006, the women's matchups have been announced by ESPN on Selection Monday.The Selection Monday move allows ESPN to provide more prominent coverage on women's basketball instead of providing minimal coverage for the women before devoting the rest of the evening to the men's tournament; it also allows minor coverage of the secondary National Invitation Tournament, to which ESPN also holds full rights.
