Milestones and records
  • November 13 and 16 – Chastadie Barrs of Lamar recorded triple-doubles in consecutive games, making her the eighth Division I women's player to do so. First, she recorded 14 points, 10 assists, and 10 steals in a 93–62 win over Division III Louisiana College. Barrs fell one rebound short of a quadruple-double in this game.[1] She then recorded 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 steals in the Cardinals' 92–49 blowout of NAIA school Southwestern Assemblies of God.[2]
  • November 13 and 17 – On the night after Barrs recorded her second straight triple-double, Sabrina Ionescu of Oregon matched the feat, becoming the ninth Division I women's player to do so. In the preseason WNIT, Ionescu recorded 29 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in Oregon's quarterfinal against Drake, followed by 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds against Texas A&M in the semifinals. This gave the sophomore six triple-doubles in her career, one shy of what was then the Division I women's record of seven.[3]
  • November 25 – Kelsey Mitchell of Ohio State became the all-time Division I women's leader in made three-pointers. Mitchell's seven three-pointers in the Buckeyes' 104–62 romp over Florida Gulf Coast gave her 402 for her career, surpassing the previous record of 398 by Connecticut's Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.[4]
  • December 17 – Ionescu recorded her seventh career triple-double, tying the NCAA women's all-divisions record then held by Suzie McConnell-Serio (Penn State) and Louella Tomlinson (Saint Mary's). She had 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 14 assists in the Ducks' 90–46 blowout of Ole Miss.[5]
  • December 19 – Two coaches recorded their 1,000th career wins. First, North Carolina's Sylvia Hatchell reached the milestone when the Tar Heels defeated Grambling State 79–63. Later in the evening, Geno Auriemma reached the milestone when UConn defeated Oklahoma 88–64. Auriemma became the fastest coach in either men's or women's Division I history to reach 1,000 wins, doing so in his 33rd season and 1,135th game.[6]
  • December 31 – Ionescu took sole possession of the record for career triple-doubles with 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists in the Ducks' 94–83 win over Washington.[7] This game was also the 500th career win for Ducks head coach Kelly Graves.[8]
  • January 3 – Grambling State's Shakyla Hill became the first player in Division I basketball to record a quadruple-double since Lester Hudson in 2007, and the first to do so in D-I women's play since 1993. She had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 steals in the Lady Tigers' 93–71 win over Alabama State.[9]
  • January 7 – Mercer's KeKe Calloway hit 12 three-pointers in the Bears' 86–64 win at Furman, tying a Division I women's single-game record.[10]
  • January 13 – Mitchell became the 13th Division I women's player with 3,000 career points, reaching the milestone with her first two points in the Buckeyes' 77–62 win at Indiana.[11]
  • January 27 – Mitchell became the all-time scoring leader in the Big Ten Conference, surpassing Rachel Banham of Minnesota during the Buckeyes' 78–62 win over Michigan State.[12]
  • February 1 – Chattanooga's Jim Foster became the eighth NCAA women's coach and the seventh in Division I with 900 career wins, reaching the mark with a 58–41 win over Western Carolina.[13]
  • February 3 – In a more ignominious milestone, Chicago State set a new Division I women's record with its 59th consecutive loss, reaching the mark with a 59–43 home loss to Grand Canyon.[14]
  • February 17 – Oregon's Ruthy Hebard set a new Division I women's record for consecutive field goals made, going 12-for-12 in the Ducks' 80–74 double-overtime win over USC to finish the game with an ongoing streak of 30. The previous record of 28 was set in 1998 by Southern Utah's Myndee Kay Larsen.[15]
  • February 19 – Hebard made her first three basket attempts in Oregon's 101–94 overtime win over UCLA, ending with a streak of 33 consecutive field goals, the NCAA Division I record for a player of either sex. She had entered the game even with Yale's Brandon Sherrod, who had a streak of 30 in 2016.[16]
  • March 16 – Ionescu recorded her sixth triple-double of the season in Oregon's 88–45 first-round NCAA tournament win over Seattle with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists. This matched the single-season Division I triple-double record, previously accomplished by Danielle Carson of Youngstown State in 1985–86,[17] and also in men's play by BYU's Kyle Collinsworth in both 2014–15 and 2015–16.[18] It was also the 16th triple-double in Division I women's tournament history, and the first since Iowa's Samantha Logic in 2015.[17]
  • March 17 – UConn crushed Saint Francis (PA) 140–52 in the first round of the NCAA tournament, setting a new scoring record for a Division I women's tournament game. The only team to score more points in a Division I tournament game was the Loyola Marymount men, who scored 149 in a 1990 game against Michigan.[19]

Conference membership changes

Three schools joined new conferences for the 2017–18 season.

School Former conference New conference
IUPUI Summit League Horizon League[20]
Valparaiso Horizon League Missouri Valley Conference[21]
Wichita State Missouri Valley Conference American Athletic Conference[22]

In addition to the schools changing conferences, the 2017–18 season was the last for four schools in their then-current conferences:

Arenas

New arenas

Arenas closing
  • Elon played its final season at Alumni Gym, which opened in 1950 for the Elon men's team and had housed the women's team since its first season of 1971–72. The school opened the new Schar Center, with more than three times the capacity of Alumni Gym, for the 2018 women's volleyball season (which precedes the basketball season).[29]

Temporary arenas

Four Division I women's teams played the 2017–18 season in temporary homes due to renovation of their current venues. A fifth played in a temporary home following the demolition of its previous venue to accommodate a new arena.

All-America teams
Main article: 2018 NCAA Women's Basketball All-Americans

The NCAA has never recognized a consensus All-America team in women's basketball. This differs from the practice in men's basketball, in which the NCAA uses a combination of selections by the Associated Press (AP), the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), the Sporting News, and the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) to determine a consensus All-America team. The selection of a consensus team is possible because all four organizations select at least a first and second team, with only the USBWA not selecting a third team.

Of the major selectors in women's basketball, the AP and USBWA divide their selections into separate teams, but the 2017–18 season was the first in which the USBWA did so. The women's counterpart to the NABC, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), continues the USBWA's former practice of selecting a single 10-member (plus ties) team. The NCAA does not recognize Sporting News as an All-America selector in women's basketball.
