PORTLAND, Ore. – March is here for Portland Pilots women's basketball, as they've been selected to the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT) for the first time in program history. They will play the 2-seed Stanford Cardinal on the road in Palo Alto for their first-round matchup.
This is the sixth straight year the Pilots have qualified for a postseason tournament and their first time playing in the WBIT. The Pilots have played in the NCAA Tournament each of the last two seasons, last year playing against the Kansas State Wildcats as a 13-seed. The Pilots have qualified for postseason play now 13 times in their program's Division I history, with seven NCAA Tournament appearances, three WNIT appearances and two WBI appearances to go with this qualification for the WBIT.
