The Washington State women are having fun again.
Winning two games in a national postseason tournament will do that.
The Cougars (14-19) have a chance to make it three in a row when they host UC Davis in a third-round Women’s National Invitation Tournament game on Thursday night.
“It’s really exciting to be back in Pullman in the Sweet 16 of the WNIT,” coach June Daugherty said. “It’s been an amazing journey.”
And an improbable one. The Cougars received a postseason spot because their seventh-place conference finish was the highest of any Pac-12 team that didn’t qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
