For the first time in 13 years, the Wisconsin Badgers women’s basketball team has extended their season into April as they continue a WNIT tournament run. Wisconsin will take on St. Louis at the Kohl Center, on Monday, April 1 at 7 p.m.
The Women’s National Invitation Tournament is underway for the first time and the Badgers are one of the last eight teams alive. After a first-round bye, Wisconsin survived a 19-point deficit against Southern Indiana and handled Illinois State in the second round.
The WNIT selection marks the first postseason tournament opportunity for the Badger women since 2010-11.
