INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee selected the first- and second-round and regional sites for the 2007 and 2008 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championships, as announced Wednesday by the NCAA national office.

First/second round play in the NCAA Division I women's tournament features eight sites, with eight teams at each site. The Administrative Committee of the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet has approved the sites.
