WBB: 2018 WNIT Tournament From what I overheard, we probably would have been awarded this game if it weren't for the robotics competition. Unfortunate timing. And I agree, I doubt we get the next round unless Purdue/Indiana has an arena conflict of their own.
I think you're right about the keys. At the games that I watched down in Anaheim I saw a team that looked very tight. They missed open shots, no one could consistently hit anything from distance, and just some terrible decisions with the ball. Basically playing not to lose. The two NIT games have been completely different. Free flowing, aggressive, and a certain amount of joy. Hopefully, this team shows up!
