The Saint Louis University women’s basketball team has received a bid to compete in the 2018 Women’s National Invitation Tournament. It will be the third consecutive WNIT appearance and fourth overall for the Billikens, who reached the third round in 2016 and the second round a year ago.
SLU’s first-round opponent, game date/time and game site will be announced when the 64-team WNIT bracket is revealed later this evening. WNIT officials estimate that the bracket will be released by 11 p.m. CDT.
