"We are honored and thrilled to be playing in the Preseason WNIT," head coach Keitha Adams said in a news release. "It is a great field of teams, and it will be very challenging. I feel great about the progress our program is making, and we are looking forward to the opportunity." Each team in the field will be guaranteed to play three games with the eight first-round winners advancing in traditional bracket play until the championship game on Nov. 22.
The first-round losers drop to the first consolation bracket, forming two four-team pools and play two more games to guarantee the three contests. The quarterfinal losers from the winners' bracket fall to a second consolation bracket for their third games.
All games will be played at campus sites and will be announced after each round.
