WBIT 2025 schedule, bracket: Game times, TV, streaming for women's tournament
The NCAA Tournament field is set, but that's not the only postseason tournament happening in women's hoops.
The field for the 2025 Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament − Or WBIT − is set as 32-teams will try to end the season on a high note with a postseason title. Now in it's second year, the WBIT is the main alternate postseason option for teams that didn't make March Madness. The WNIT also exists, but its not on the same level as it is on the men's side since the NCAA runs the WBIT and not the WNIT.
There are automatic bids into the WBIT as the first four teams out of the NCAA Tournament will make up the top four seeds in the field, and any conference regular season champion that got left out of the big dance will also be in it. Here's what to know for the 2025 WBIT:
