Postseason

In the ever-competitive world of collegiate women’s basketball, the Purdue Boilermakers have once again etched their name in the postseason annals. After a grueling regular season that saw them face the 22nd toughest schedule in the nation, the team has accepted a bid to the prestigious Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). This year’s WNIT invitation marks the third consecutive postseason appearance for the Boilermakers under the guidance of head coach Katie Gearlds.

The sting of being swept in the regular season by Nebraska is still fresh for the Indiana Hoosiers as they prepare for a Big Ten tournament quarterfinal rematch with the Cornhuskers. But this veteran IU squad has rallied off five straight wins, proving their late-season swoon was only temporary. After edging out Penn State 61-59 on Thursday, Mike Woodson’s team has new life and a chance at payback against a Nebraska club that has had their number.
