FORT COLLINS, Colo.—The Colorado women's basketball team was announced as part of a four-team field that will make up the 28th Preseason WNIT on Tuesday.
The Buffaloes will be joined by Jackson State, Louisiana and Texas Tech. This year's event will be held from Nov. 12-20, with all teams playing a three-game round robin. CU's first tournament game will be on Nov. 12 when Jackson State visits the CU Events Center.
New NCAA scheduling protocols have taken the fourth game away from the historical 16-team format of the Preseason WNIT. An all-tournament team will be selected, but no event championship will be awarded.
