WBIT to return to Indianapolis in 2025
POSTED: July 23, 2024 -- 1:25 p.m. CT
The NCAA announced the 2025 Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament semifinals and finals will return to Indianapolis and historic Hinkle Fieldhouse on the Butler campus. The semifinal games will take place March 31, and the championship game on April 2. This will be the second consecutive year that Indianapolis will host the final games.
"Indianapolis did an outstanding job hosting our inaugural Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament," said Lynn Holzman, vice president of women's basketball. "We are thrilled to be returning to Hinkle Fieldhouse in 2025. The enthusiasm and support from the local community for women's basketball in Indianapolis continues to grow. We are excited to build on the momentum for all of women's basketball and from this past year's WBIT as we look forward to crowning a 2025 WBIT champion."
"Our hosts from the Indiana Sports Corporation and Butler University set the bar incredibly high with their hosting of the 2024 event, and we can't wait to see how they elevate the student-athlete experience in 2025," said Barbara Burke, former deputy director of athletics at Iowa and chair of the WBIT selection committee.
The WBIT postseason tournament is owned and funded by the NCAA. The Association provides 100 postseason opportunities for Division I women's basketball teams through its two events (the 68-team championship and 32-team WBIT). Selections, pairings and the bracket for the 2025 WBIT will be announced March 16.
