The 27th annual Postseason WNIT is set to take place from March 20-22, with a full bracket release on Monday. The tournament field consists of 48 teams, including 21 automatic qualifiers and 27 at-large bids. The automatic qualifiers feature conference champions who did not receive an NCAA Tournament bid.
The top-seeded team will be determined by the number of wins in each conference this season. Other conferences are represented with their highest regular-season finishers that didn’t make it to the NCAA Tournament.
This year’s Postseason WNIT aims to provide a genuine postseason challenge for women’s college basketball teams, while also celebrating the hard work and determination of players, coaches, and staff.
The tournament will run from March 20-22, followed by Super 16, Great 8, Fab 4, and Championship rounds. The championship game will take place on April 5 at 3 p.m. ET, broadcasted on CBS Sports Network.
The Postseason WNIT is produced by Triple Crown Sports, which also runs the men’s and women’s DI Cancun Challenge tournaments in November.
