Tourney Expansion: This will be the second season that the CCIW Women's Basketball Tournament will feature the top six teams from the regular season. Previously, between the tournament's inception in 2003 to 2018, only the top four teams from the regular season advanced to the conference's postseason event.

NCAA Automatic Qualifier: Saturday's tournament championship winner will earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Championship. The full 64-team bracket will be announced via an NCAA.com Selection Show at 2:30 p.m. EST on Monday, March 2.

NCAA History: CCIW teams have won a combined three NCAA Division III national titles including Millikin (2005), Illinois Wesleyan (2012) and North Central (1983). The Cardinals' title came before the CCIW began sponsoring women's basketball beginning in the 1986-87 season.
