Does anyone know if the whole NIT is played at Madison Square Gardens or are the early rounds played in various locations?

The WNIT is played on college campuses across the country - it is not affiliated with the men's NIT, nor does it hold any games in Madison Square Garden in New York:

This is a great way to build recognition of the GREAT WBB at ORU.

It is VERY DIFFICULT to win against a quality opponent 3 times in one season. SDSU was busy rubbing that Rabbit's foot to escape with one win vs ORU this season.

SDSU went twice to the WNIT prior to being eligible to Dance. Really had a great turnout, and created a wonderful relationship with the WNIT folks that has been parlayed into Bahamas/Jamica/WNIT pre-season tourneys. Take advantage of the opportunity and HOST games. Hosts win 75% of the time, and a WNIT sweet 16 can be a great springboard to next year.

With your returnees, ORU & SDSU should be the teams to come up to, even though there were three sub 330 teams this year in the Summit.

Best of luck and skill in the WNIT this year ORU!

Thanks for the kind words, rabbidrabbit. Playing three games no doubt allowed SDSU a chance to expose and exploit our weaknesses. Looking forward to seeing our ladies back on the court. Hopefully they'll be able to win some games in the post-season.

Best of luck to the Jackrabbits in the NCAA Tournament!!

ORU has played before in both the preseason and postseason WNIT events - not our first rodeo... |(
