Head coach Marisa Moseley and the Wisconsin women’s basketball team took an important step this season — they made the Women’s National Invitation Tournament for the first time since 2011.
An alternative to the NCAA tournament, the WNIT has long offered programs an opportunity to continue playing after the regular season should they not earn an NCAA bid. Veterans can continue to enjoy the fruits of their labor, young players can gain invaluable experience and teams often feel a boost in the following season.
Moseley and the Badgers won’t let this opportunity slip.

“For us, it was definitely like ‘if we get the chance [to play in the WNIT], we’re going to take that,’” Moseley said in a press conference in late March.
