Should they ban teams from playing at their home arenas in the NCAA women's basketball tournament?

After Villanova won the 1985 NCAA tournament (and played some games at home at the tournament), men's basketball teams aren't allowed to play tourney games at their home arena or at a place they call home more than 3 times, or something like that. In the NCAA women's tournament, it looks like a number of schools are playing AT HOME, regardless of seed, and it gives them an unfair advantage when they are lower seeds especially like Rutgers who blew out Auburn in Piscataway! Others like Maryland and UConn are #1 seeds and they should be rewarded with playing at a location close to home, but they shouldn't play at home nevertheless. A tournament should always be neutral. The Terps could play at the Verizon Center and they'd fill it up more than a Wizards game as of late and sell every seat. UConn could make TD Banknorth more rowdy than a Celtics game and sell every seat too.

No wonder why some women's programs have been able to dominate so many years... It's because they get to play games AT HOME!

    in the arguement of fairness yes

    but playing away doesn't override talent and sheer will to win

    A good team should be able to win games away from home. But, I agree it is unfair to a team like Auburn. An away game didn't make the lose by 20 though.
