For the first time since 2014, the Marquette women’s basketball team will be participating in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. The announcement came Monday afternoon on the team’s Twitter account.
Head coach Megan Duffy’s squad will take on the Ball State Cardinals inside the Al McGuire Center on Wednesday at 7 p.m. CST in the first round.
It is the 10th time the Golden Eagles will appear in the WNIT. Marquette won the tournament in 2008 with an 81-66 win over Michigan State.
Marquette automatically qualified for the tournament as the top-seeded BIG EAST team to not make the NCAA Tournament.
