PFW also changed its colors from IPFW 's former blue and silver scheme to the old gold and black used by its new parent institution. September 10 -- The Northeast Conference ( NEC ) announced that Merrimack College would start a transition from the NCAA Division II Northeast - 10 Conference and join the NEC effective July 1, 2019. The Warriors will not be eligible for the NCAA tournament until becoming a full D-I member in 2023 -- 24. October 3 -- Long Island University announced that it would merge its two current athletic programs -- the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds, full members of the NEC, and the Division II LIU Post Pioneers -- effective with the 2019 -- 20 school year. The new program will compete under the LIU name with a new nickname and retain LIU Brooklyn 's Division I and NEC memberships. This change will have minimal effect on the existing LIU Brooklyn women 's basketball program, as LIU has announced that the unified basketball team will be based at the Brooklyn campus. Milestones and records Conference membership changes Six schools joined new conferences for the 2018 -- 19 season. Four schools switched between Division I conferences for the 2018 -- 19 season. In addition, two schools moved from Division II starting this season. The former Division II schools are ineligible for NCAA - sponsored postseason play until completing their D-I transitions in 2022. School Former Conference New Conference Cal Baptist PacWest ( D - II ) WAC Hampton MEAC Big South Liberty Big South ASUN North Alabama Gulf South ( D - II ) ASUN North Dakota Big Sky Summit League USC Upstate ASUN Big South In addition to the schools changing conferences, the 2018 -- 19 season will be the last for Savannah State in D-I with its decision to reclassify all of its sports to D - II. Finally, one D-I member adopted a new institutional and athletic identity. The 2017 -- 18 school year was the last for Indiana University -- Purdue University Fort Wayne ( IPFW ) as a single institution. Following the school 's split into separate institutions governed by Indiana University and Purdue University, IPFW degree programs in health sciences are now overseen by Indiana University Fort Wayne, while all other degree programs are governed by Purdue University Fort Wayne ( PFW ). As noted in the `` Season headlines '' section, the IPFW athletic program, rebranded in 2016 as the Fort Wayne Mastodons, became the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons, representing only PFW. Arenas New arenas Elon will play its first season at the new Schar Center, which replaces their home of 37 seasons, Alumni Gym. After 32 seasons at the off - campus Burton Coliseum, McNeese State will play its first season at the new on - campus Health and Human Performance Education Complex ( H&HP Complex ). Robert Morris plans to open the new UPMC Events Center at the site of its former on - campus home, Charles L. Sewall Center, in January 2019. The two new Division I entries for 2018 will continue to play at existing on - campus facilities. California Baptist plays at the CBU Events Center, which opened in 2017, and North Alabama plays at Flowers Hall, which opened in 1972 and has been home to the women 's program since it began play in 1975. Arenas reopening Four teams are returning to newly renovated arenas, all of which were closed for the 2017 -- 18 season. Cincinnati returns to Fifth Third Arena. Houston initially planned to reopen the renamed Fertitta Center ( originally Hofheinz Pavilion ) by the start of the 2018 -- 19 season, but construction delays have pushed the expected reopening date to December 2018. Northwestern returns to Welsh -- Ryan Arena. Villanova returns the bulk of its schedule to the renamed Finneran Pavilion ( originally duPont Pavilion and later The Pavilion ). Arenas closing Temporary arenas With the reopening of Fertitta Center delayed, Houston will begin the 2018 -- 19 season at Texas Southern 's Health and Physical Education Arena, where the Cougars played most of their 2017 -- 18 home games. While Robert Morris awaits the opening of the UPMC Events Center, its women 's team will continue to use the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, an on - campus facility that opened in September 2017 as part of the UPMC Events Center project. Season outlook Pre-season Polls See also : 2018 -- 19 NCAA Division I women 's basketball rankings The top 25 from the AP and USA Today Coaches Polls. Regular season Early preseason tournament Upsets An upset is a victory by an underdog team.

This list will highlight those upsets of ranked teams by unranked teams as well as upsets of # 1 teams. Rankings are from the AP poll. Bold type indicates winning teams in `` true road games '' -- i.e., those played on an opponent 's home court ( including secondary homes, such as Intrust Bank Arena for Wichita State ). Conference winners and tournament winners Each of the 32 Division I athletic conferences ends its regular season with a single - elimination tournament. The team with the best regular - season record in each conference is given the number one seed in each tournament, with tiebreakers used as needed in the case of ties for the top seeding. The winners of these tournaments receive automatic invitations to the 2019 NCAA Division I Women 's Basketball Tournament.
