MOSCOW, Idaho—The University of Idaho will enter the 2016 NCAA Tournament as a No. 16 seed in the Dallas Region. The Vandals (24-9) will play the first-seeded Baylor Bears on Friday, Mar. 18 in Waco, Texas (2:00 p.m. PT, ESPN2).
Idaho earned its third trip to the NCAA Tournament in the past four season, defeating Idaho State, 67-55, in the Big Sky Tournament championship. Freshman Mikayla Ferenz scored 18 points in the game and 67 in the tournament on her way to being voted Tournament MVP.
The Vandals return to the NCAA Tournament in 2016 after missing out on post-season play a year ago.
