Nebraska women’s basketball goes to WNIT
FORT COLLINS, CO. – Tournament officials concluded the weeks of research and careful consideration Sunday with the announcement of the field for the 25th WNIT Postseason, an impressive 64-team roster that reflects the depth and competitive excellence found in women’s college basketball and draws from Power 5 notables and ascending mid-major conferences.
The 2023 field features 32 automatic qualifiers, which are the teams that are the next highest ranked in their conference’s regular season that were not classified for the NCAA Tournament. The other 32 teams are general selections, chosen after consideration of a mix of criteria by WNIT officials.
Last year’s WNIT Postseason Champion, South Dakota State, was 28-5 this season, going 18-0 in the Summit Conference. Here is the field for the 2023 WNIT Postseason, produced by Triple Crown Sports:
