Regionals and Final Four
Spokane Dallas Philadelphia Indianapolis 2011 NCAA Regionals and Final FourThe Regionals, named for the city rather than the region of geographic importance since 2005, which were held from March 26 to March 29, were at these sites:
- Dayton Regional, University of Dayton Arena, Dayton, Ohio
- Spokane Regional, Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, Spokane, Washington (Host: Washington State University)
- Dallas Regional, American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas (Host Big 12 Conference)
- Philadelphia Regional, Liacouras Center, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- NOTES: 1. Unless noted, all sites are on campus.
2. This marked the first time since the NCAA started pre-determining subregional sites that one city hosted both a sub-regional and regional final as Spokane served as a host city twice in the same tournament.
Regional winners advanced to the Final Four held April 3 and 5 at Conseco Fieldhouse (now Bankers Life Fieldhouse) in Indianapolis, hosted by Butler University and the Horizon League as per the NCAA's policy of hosting one of each of the men's and women's Final Four every five years in the home city of the NCAA offices.

Famous quotes containing the word final:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
