Pumpkin Festival Fever Hits Town On Saturday—Don't Miss Out On The Spooky Streak!
The WBIT isn't the premier postseason tournament for women's college basketball, but it gives Wisconsin one more chance to prove itself.
MADISON – Some programs passed on playing in a lower level of the postseason after failing to make the NCAA Tournment. The idea wasn’t part of Robin Pingeton ’s thinking. Actually, quite the contrary.
“Really, it was a no-brainer for us,” the University of Wisconsin women's basketball coach said. The Badgers gladly accepted an invitation to the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament. On Thursday, March 19, the third-seeded Badgers will face Oregon State at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Oregon.
Tip off is 8 p. m. The game will be streamed on ESPN+.
A subscription is required. A victory would set up a matchup Sunday with the Miami-Georgia Southern winner at a time and site to be announced. The berth marks a step up for Wisconsin, which played in the WNIT two years ago.
