If the Missouri women’s basketball team reaches the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for the first time since 2000, its reward could be to play almost 1,700 miles away from Mizzou Arena.
The NCAA Tournament selection committee’s final top-16 seed reveal came out Monday evening and included regional assignments. Should Missouri’s assignment hold after conference tournaments, the Tigers, the projected No. 11 overall seed, would be in the No. 3 seed in the Spokane, Wash., Regional — even though the Sprint Center in Kansas City is one of the other three regional sites for Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games.
