Wichita waits to hear on next round of NCAA basketball tournament sites

The NCAA will announce sites for its men’s basketball tournaments from 2019 through 2022 on Tuesday. Wichita’s Intrust Bank Arena is a candidate for a first- and second-round weekend.

“The bid process from the last time didn’t really change a whole lot,” said Wichita State associate athletic director Brad Pittman. “With a successful bid (for 2018), we had a blueprint of what they were looking for. We stuck to that blueprint.”

Wichita State would be the host for the games. The Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission, Visit Wichita, the arena, the city and Sedgwick County would assist.
