Cougars set for third postseason appearance in last four years under Ronald Hughey
HOUSTON – The University of Houston women's basketball team will make its seventh appearance in the Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) after earning one of 23 at-large bids to the postseason event.
For the third time in the last four years the Houston Cougars are headed to the postseason. After compiling a 16-7 overall record, including a 12-4 mark in conference play UH will play in the Fort Worth region. Houston will face San Francisco (15-10, 10-7 WCC) on March 19 at the Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center. Tip-off is slated for 5 p.m.
The 2021 tournament marks the 23rd year of the event and features a 32-team field due to COVID-19 protocols. Houston is one of two teams in The American to be invited to the event, joining Tulane. The first round of games will take place on Friday, March 19 followed by the second round on March 20 and the third round on March 22. The regional champions will advance to the Memphis site, with the semifinals tipping off March 26, followed by the Championships game on March 28.
All games will be streamed through FloHoops. Every team will play at least two games with this year's tournament featuring a four-team consolation bracket at each regional site.
The Cougars are in a unique position as the first team out of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament field. Due to NCAA COVID-19 protocols if a team in the field of 64 were unable to participate in the tournament within the next 48 hours, Houston would replace the team if they come from a multi-bid league.
Ticket information will be released as soon as it becomes available.
