Washington already knew it was going to The NIT. On Sunday, the Huskies learned they’ll play Boise State in the first round of the tournament.
This is UW’s first NIT appearance since the 2015-16 season. It is also the ninth time in school history UW (20-12) has reached The NIT. UW’s best finish in The NIT came in 2012 when it reached the semifinal round.
As of a week ago, the Huskies were trying to sneak their way into the NCAA Tournament. UW was 20-11 going into the Pac-12 Tournament at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
