Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament brackets. Villanova and St. Joe’s basketball teams, both men’s and women’s, were selected for second-tier postseason competition.
“We have an opportunity to compete, so we want to try to compete and play the best we can possibly play,” head coach Kyle Neptune said late Sunday night. “We’re always competing, we want to win every game we play.” Like the men, Villanova’s women’s team was on the bubble, but losing three of its last four games cost the Wildcats a bid. However, as a younger team, the Wildcats have more to gain by competing in the WBIT.
St. Joe’s was a surprise inclusion in the NIT, as the tournament only had 20 at-large bids, and 12 spots are automatically given to the top-two NET rated teams from the Power 6 conferences that missed the NCAA Tournament. At least six teams declined invitations.
