INDIANAPOLIS – For the 11th time in 12 seasons, the Belmont University women’s basketball team has earned a bid to a national postseason tournament. The Bruins (25-8) have accepted an at-large bid to the inaugural Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT) and will take on Ball State out of the Mid-American Conference this Thursday, March 21 in the first round.
The two teams met in the opening round of last year’s WNIT.
