No less than 20 teams featuring Australians will feature in the women’s postseason in 2016, with six of these schools sending a combined 12 players to the NCAA Tournament. Among these are unexpected MAC champions Buffalo, a side featuring four Australians who secured their bid with a conference tournament win as an #8 seed. At the other end of the spectrum are Kristy Wallace and #1 seed Baylor, who have lost only one game all season and will be looking for no less than a Final Four appearance. Elsewhere, Big West Tournament MVP Ashleigh Karaitiana will be hoping to lead Hawaii to an upset in their first round matchup against #3 seed UCLA.
