The University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team received an at-large bid to play in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament and will begin their tournament journey next week for the first time since 2011.
First round matchups begin this week, but a first round bye means UW will play the winner of the University of Southern Indiana (12-17) and University of Illinois-Chicago (18-15) game — being played at 7:00 p.m. CT in Evansville Thursday.
The exact time and location of UW’s matchup will be revealed once the first round has concluded. There is a chance that the Badgers play next week’s game at the Kohl Center.
