MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The West Virginia University women’s basketball program is set to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1992.

West Virginia put itself in position to host after winning its first Big 12 Tournament championship since 2017. The Mountaineers defeated Texas Christian, 62-53, to earn the automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
The Mountaineers have posted 27 wins this season, marking the third-most in program history. Over the last three seasons, West Virginia is 44-5 inside the WVU Coliseum.
West Virginia is the No. 4 seed and will face No. 13 seed Miami (Ohio). With a win, the Mountaineers would face the winner of No. 5 seed Kentucky and No. 12 seed James Madison.
