The University of Colorado women’s basketball team was left on the outside looking in on Monday night, as the Buffs witnessed 64 other schools be selected for the NCAA tournament.
Colorado (10-10, 8-8 Pac-12) however, will get an opportunity to make some noise in another postseason tournament, as they accepted an invitation to the 32-team Women’s National Invitational Tournament.
Head coach JR Payne knew her team’s chances of being included in the NCAA tournament were slim, but she kept an optimistic mindset with her players as they watched the selection show.
“There was like a sliver of hope,” Payne said.
