FORT COLLINS, Colo., – For the third consecutive season and the 12th time in program history the Wyoming Cowgirl basketball team has been selected to play in the 48-team Women's National Invitational Tournament.
The WNIT’s full bracket, with UW’s opponent, date of the first round game and location, will be announced Monday afternoon. The first round of the tournament will be held March 20-22.
"Feeling lucky to still be playing with this group," Wyoming head coach Heather Ezell penned on X Sunday night after the announcement.
