The NESCAC has sent a team to the last six NCAA national semifinals and won 107 tournament games along the way.

Three years ago we posted a resource called the Conference Guidebook for Division III men's basketball. We have been developing the same resource for women's basketball, starting with the NCAA tournament results on a conference-by-conference basis for the past 10 years. The 10-year comparison period covers two-plus classes of four-year students and 10 is a nice round number.

• Conference-by-conference NCAA tournament results
• NCAA Division III tournament history

We've compiled the NCAA Tournament records for each team in each conference, along with their last championship in their current conference. You can find that information for each conference at the bottom of the page.

Seventeen conferences had at least one member reach the national semifinals over this period. Ten conferences produced national champions since 2005, while only five did so on the men’s side of Division III. The CCIW is the only conference with two women’s national champions (Illinois Wesleyan in 2012 and Millikin in 2004), although that's because the UAA's run was more than 10 years ago.

That doesn't discount the CCIW’s impressive performance. Teams from that conference have a .711 winning percentage, the best among the 44 active and three defunct conferences participating in the NCAA tournament.

The NESCAC has reached the national semifinals the most times (seven) and posted the most NCAA tournament wins (107). It has also had the most opportunities to do so. The NESCAC has received 34 bids, 24 of them at-large. The UAA has had the second most bids (30) followed by the WIAC (22).

If we extended our period back a few more years, the UAA would look even better. Washington U. was an unstoppable juggernaut from 1998-2001, winning four consecutive titles before our 10-year period. The WIAC hasn't produced a national champion in women's basketball since Stevens Point won in 2002. But don't let that fool you. This is the deepest conference in the country with seven of its nine members reaching at least one of the last 10 NCAA tournaments.

Pulling this together involved manual compilation, so there are undoubtedly some errors or omissions. When you find them, please let us know by email at gordon.mann@d3sports.com.
