QUICK HITS
- No. 11 James Madison received an automatic berth to the 2016 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament after earning the program's third straight Colonial Athletic Association title in a 60-46 win over Drexel Saturday night. The Dukes were led by All-Tournament Team honorees Angela Mickens and Ashley Perez alongside Most Oustanding Player Jazmon Gwathmey.
- The Dukes are in the Dallas Region of the NCAA Championship bracket. The winner in Friday's noon contest will face the winner of host No. 3 Louisville vs. No. 14 Central Arkansas on Sunday, Mar. 20.Â
- This marks the third straight NCAA Tournament appearance for the women's basketball team and the 12th NCAA Tournament trip overall.
- The sixth-ranked Blue Demons earned a bid to the tournament after winning the BIG EAST regular season championship. DePaul is ranked No. 18 in the Associated Press Poll and No. 21 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
- The Dukes and Blue Demons have battled once in program history, an 89-75 decision in favor of DePaul on a neutral floor in Chicago, Ill. on Jan. 5, 1999.Â
- The last time the Dukes were a part of a 6-11 match-up, 11th-seeded JMU defeated sixth-seeded Gonzaga 72-63 in College Station, Texas, to advance to the Round-of-32.
RULES CHANGES
- FORMAT:Â Instead of two 20-minute halves, women's basketball games will now have four 10-minute periods with an intermission between the first and second periods and the third and fourth periods as well as a 15-minute halftime intermission.
- FOULS:Â A player will be awarded two free throws for each common foul committed by a team starting with the fifth team foul in each period - there are no more 1-and-1 situations. Team foul counts will reset at the beginning of each period.
- TEAM-CALLED TIMEOUTS:Â Each team will have four timeouts to be used during the course of the game (three 30-second timeouts and one full 60-second timeout). Three timeouts carry over to the second half; if no timeout is taken in the first half, a team loses one 30-second timeout. If the game goes past regulation, one 30-second timeout is awarded for each extra period, plus the remaining second-half timeouts.
- MEDIA TIMEOUTS (2:45 in length):Â There will be seven media timeouts during regulation time: three prior to halftime and four after halftime. The intermission between the first and second periods as well as the intermission between the third and fourth periods will count as media timeouts. Each period will have one media timeout at either the first team-called timeout of the period OR the first dead ball at or below the five-minute mark. A floating media timeout will take place during either the third or fourth period at the first team-called timeout. This will not eliminate the set media timeout of that period.
