KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has released its 32-team bracket for the 28th Annual NAIA Division I Women's Basketball National Championship. Oman Arena in Jackson, Tenn. will host the event on March 19-25, 2008.
The tournament will start with the first round games on Wednesday, March 19 and Thursday, March 20 and will end with the championship game on Tuesday, March 25 at 6:30 p.m.
The first 30 games of the Championships will be video-streamed live on the Internet, while the National Championship Game will air live nationwide on College Sports Television (CSTV).
In 2007 Lambuth (Tenn.) defeated Cumberland (Tenn.), 63-50, to win the first NAIA title in program history. The Eagles are just the fourth different team to claim a title over the past 14 seasons. Lambuth, seeded fifth in the tournament bracket, is the lowest-seeded champion since the NAIA implemented bracketed quarters in 2003.
