The 2014–15 NCAA Division I women's basketball season began in November and ended with the Final Four in Tampa, Florida, April 5–7. Practices officially began on October 3.

This was the final season in which NCAA women's basketball games were played in 20-minute halves. Beginning with the 2015–16 season, the women's game switched to 10-minute quarters, the standard for FIBA and WNBA play.[1]

Milestones and records

Conference membership changes

The 2014–15 season saw the final wave of membership changes resulting from a major realignment of NCAA Division I conferences. The cycle began in 2010 with the Big Ten and the then-Pac-10 publicly announcing their intentions to expand. The fallout from these conferences' moves later affected a majority of D-I conferences.

Regular season

Early season tournaments

*Although these tournaments include more teams, only the number listed play for the championship.

Conference winners and tournaments

Thirty-one athletic conferences each end their regular seasons with a single-elimination tournament. The teams in each conference that win their regular season title are given the number one seed in each tournament. The winners of these tournaments receive automatic invitations to the 2015 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament. The Ivy League does not have a conference tournament, instead giving their automatic invitation to their regular season champion.

Award winners

All-America teams

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.

However, of the major selectors in women's basketball, only the AP divides its selections into separate teams. The women's counterpart to the NABC, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), selects a single 10-member (plus ties) team, as does the USBWA. The NCAA does not recognize Sporting News as an All-America selector in women's basketball.

With that in mind, the following players were named to at least two of the three major teams:

"Consensus" All-Americans
Player Position Class School AP[42] USBWA[43] WBCA[44]
Brittany Boyd G Senior California 2nd — Yes
Nina Davis F Sophomore Baylor 1st Yes Yes
Moriah Jefferson G Junior Connecticut 2nd Yes Yes
Samantha Logic PG Senior Iowa 3rd Yes Yes
Jewell Loyd G Junior Notre Dame 1st Yes Yes
Kelsey Mitchell G Freshman Ohio State 2nd Yes —
Tiffany Mitchell G Junior South Carolina 1st Yes Yes
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis F Senior Connecticut 2nd Yes Yes
Breanna Stewart PF/SF Junior Connecticut 1st Yes Yes
Elizabeth Williams F/C Senior Duke 2nd Yes Yes
Amanda Zahui B. C Sophomore Minnesota 1st Yes Yes
