Wintrust Arena, the new home for DePaul basketball starting this fall, will be one of four regional sites for the 2019 NCAA women’s basketball tournament, the NCAA announced on Tuesday.
DePaul will be the host-serving institution, which will mark the first time they’ve hosted an NCAA tournament game since 2012, when Allstate Arena served as the host site for first and second round games. Allstate Arena also hosted the regional in 1996, as well as the 2005 regional for the men.
“This is just tremendous for the city of Chicago and DePaul,” women’s basketball head coach Doug Bruno said.
