    Roundhouse podcast with Brad Pittman on NCAA Opening Round basketball in Wichita

    Wichita’s credentials as a basketball city and Wichita State’s hoop history paid off on Thursday in a major way. INTRUST Bank Arena will host the Opening Round of the NCAA Tournament in March 2027 and 2028. Wichita State senior associate athletic director Brad Pittman joins the podcast to discuss the timeline, the process and what this means for the city. Wichita and Dayton will host three games each day on the Tuesday and Wednesday after Selection Sunday. The tournament expanded to 76 teams from 68 and Wichita is the beneficiary.
