Should the Cowgirls win Thursday, we'll play the winner of Idaho at Cal Davis next.
Cowgirls are in the WNIT

No idea. They don't seed the WNIT teams. They do seed the men's NIT though.
I want CHAMPIONSHIPS not chicken poop! And we're getting chicken poop!!!!!!!!!!!
From what I have read about the WNIT in the past, they do not seed, but try their best to keep travel to a minimum while separating conferences. So the left side of the bracket is Midwest/West while the right side is all east coast teams. (For the most part)
We’re a senior laden team that already won it last year. What’s the point? It’s not to get experience when you already have a bunch of upperclassmen.

Congrats, Cowgirls
The experience/upperclassmen reason would be the same argument against not playing in the NIT, CIT, and NCAA's .
But people care about the NCAAs (and NIT to a point)Adv8RU12 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 10:12 amThe experience/upperclassmen reason would be the same argument against not playing in the NIT, CIT, and NCAA's .

The NCAA's and NIT are the goal. The CBI could be potential means to the goal (gain experience to be able to reach a real postseason tournament next year), but they are not the goal.Adv8RU12 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 13, 2018 10:12 amThe experience/upperclassmen reason would be the same argument against not playing in the NIT, CIT, and NCAA's .
You also have to pay to participate in the CBI. That's not true for the NIT or NCAA.
Look at the teams playing in the CBI. Nobody from a Top 10 conference is playing in that tournament anymore. There used to be a time when teams from larger conferences would be play in it but not anymore. Nobody from the MWC or conferences at this level or above participate any more.
It is way past time for the NCAA to stop sanctioning the CBI/CIT and expand the NIT to 64 teams with an autobid from each league (just like the WNIT).

Well, they WERE in the WNIT.
Still waiting for a conference title/MW tourney title. Or at least an NCAA appearance.
