Women’s basketball will play Missouri in opening game of WNIT

The Fresno State women’s basketball team season will continue in Texas.

The Bulldogs received a bid in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT), the team’s ninth appearance in the tournament. Fresno State (16-10) will play in the Fort Worth Regional and face Missouri (9-11) on Friday, March 19 at 12 p.m. It will be the first time these programs ever play each other.

Last season, the Bulldogs also qualified for the WNIT, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancelation of the tournament. After Wednesday night’s Mountain West championship loss against Wyoming, Fresno State head coach Jaime White said playing in the WNIT was something the team was interested in participating in.
