The Big 12 has released its 2008-09 women's basketball conference composite schedule, highlighted by a change in format for the 2009 Phillips 66 Big 12 Women's Basketball Championship.
The 2009 championship will be contested Thursday-Sunday, March 12-15 at Oklahoma City's Cox Convention Center. First round action will take place on Thursday with quarterfinals on Friday, semifinals on Saturday and the final on Sunday. Times are yet to be determined.
Regular season conference action begins on the weekend of Jan. 10-11, 2009 and will conclude on March 7-8, 2009. Dates may be adjusted once the television schedule is available. Institutions will release their own non-conference schedules when completed.
The Big 12 is coming off a banner season which saw 11 teams compete in 2008 postseason play - a conference-record eight in the NCAA Championship and three in the WNIT. Also last season, the Big 12 became the first conference to record an 8-0 record in NCAA Championship first round games.
League teams continued to play in front of packed houses as the Big 12 captured its ninth consecutive NCAA attendance crown and drew over one-million fans for the second consecutive season and third time overall.
