Wichita extended its winning streak with the NCAA Tournament on Wednesday.
The Sweet 16 and Elite Eight are coming to Wichita, as the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee selected Intrust Bank Arena as one of four regional sites for the 2022 women’s tournament March 25-28, 2022. The bid was led by WSU, Visit Wichita, and Intrust Bank Arena. “We showed the world that our community is championship-caliber,” said Brian Hargrove, Visit Wichita’s executive director of sports development. “Now we get to do it again and keep this momentum going.”
The event marks the fourth successful NCAA Tournament bid for Intrust Bank Arena, which hosted first- and second-round games of the 2011 women’s tournament as well as this spring’s men’s tournament. The city also has won a bid to host first- and second-round games for the 2021 men’s tournament. Wichita State University will once again serve as host for the 2022 games.
