The NCAA has named the 32 winners of its Division I women’s basketball “Pack the House Challenge,” which drew more than 592,000 fans to arenas around the nation.

One institution from each of the 31 Division I conferences and one representing a group of independents was selected based on creativity in marketing and meeting attendance criteria. The NCAA will award prizes and donate $500 to the nonprofit organization of each winning institution’s choice.

Louisville, which was the Big East Conference “Pack the House” champion, was chosen in a random drawing as the grand-prize winner.

“Pack the House” was a first-time effort in which conferences and institutions competed to build attendance to a selected women’s basketball game.  

Almost two-thirds of the Division I membership – 198 institutions – participated in the challenge.

Events at Duke, Louisville, Marist, Navy, Oklahoma State and Presbyterian produced sell-out crowds. Seventy other programs surpassed their single-game attendance highs from last season.
