There have been 21 years in which there have been more than one team from the same conference in the Final Four. This was first possible in 1975, when a second team from one conference could be considered for at-large participation. The 2000's have had two teams from the same conference in the Final Four 8 times. The complete list, with game scores between such teams given, * denotes championship game loser, and champion team is in CAPS if applicable:

From The Women's RPI Report: In the 2000's there have been 31 teams with division I winning percentages below 62% that have been at-large NCAA tournament selections, an average of about 3 per year. However, 22 of those teams were in the 5-year period from 2000-2004, and 9 were selected from 2005-2009. Also, 9 teams have been at-large selections with losing conference records thus far in the 2000's, and 6 of those had winning percentages of slightly better than 62%. UAB is the lone non-BCS team to make the cut. A total of 19 at-large teams with losing conference records have been selected in the tournament’s 28 years history, and 12, or almost two-thirds, were from the SEC.

Virginia ended an 8-year streak in which the top-ranked schedule strength team which was eligible did not receive an invitation to a post-season tournament. The Cavs ended the 2009 regular season with the No. 1 schedule strength rank, but their 10-18 overall record and 4-12 ACC mark was too much to overcome for post-season play. Since 1991, 14 of the 19 teams holding the No. 1 regular season schedule strength rank have been in the NCAA tournament and 15 of 19 teams have been in post-season play. In four of the last nine years, the team holding top schedule strength honors has lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
