Northwestern women's basketball will be playing in its third consecutive postseason.
The Northwestern (18-16) women's basketball team has been selected to play in the Women's NIT for 2016 as an at-large team. The team missed out on a repeat trip to the NCAA Tournament after going 4-14 in the Big Ten regular season, but capped off the year with a surprising run in the Big Ten Tournament. Northwestern's WNIT record was a bit dicey heading into the Big Ten Tournament, but two wins against the top half of the Big Ten ensured its spot in the tournament.
This is the Wildcats' third straight year playing in the postseason if they accept.
