The IU women’s basketball team will open the 2015-16 season by competing in the Preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament in November, the program announced Tuesday.
IU will be joined by major conference schools such as Baylor, Depaul, South Florida and Southern Mississippi.
Some smaller schools involved are Alabama State, Chattanooga, Dartmouth, Drexel, Jacksonville, McNeese State, Siena, Southern Illinois, St. Bonaventure, Tennessee State and UT-Arlington.
“We are excited to get a chance to play in a challenging field for this year’s Preseason WNIT to begin our season,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “This is another great opportunity early in the year to help prepare us for Big Ten play.”
This will be IU’s third appearance in the Preseason WNIT since 2008. Each team is guaranteed three games, and participating schools will host games.
This will be Moren’s second season at the helm for IU.
