ALBANY, N.Y. — The second year of the super regional format for the women's NCAA Tournament presented some logistical challenges for arena staff and the teams involved. On semifinal Friday in Albany, for example, there were four shootarounds, four practices and two games, all on the same court. That's eight teams coming in and out of MVP Arena from around 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The locker rooms were reserved for teams with practices and games. Those coming in for shootarounds came dressed and occasionally stretched in corridors while waiting for the court to become available. Questions also were raised about equity in accommodations and why West Coast teams were scheduled for early news conferences and practices.
