Media coverage

The tournament will be covered by ESPN's networks. Over the course of rebroadcasting a studio program discussing the men's tournament, ESPNU accidentally displayed on-screen graphics prematurely revealing the tournament bracket prior to its formal unveiling that evening. The NCAA officially released the brackets two hours earlier than scheduled.^[8] Some watch parties for schools scheduled with the bracket reveal were cancelled, and ESPN apologized for the error.^[9]
