Women's BB gets WNIT Bid

[spudbowl]

According to Twitter

Idaho State WBB ‏@HeartofaBengal

The Bengals are heading to the WNIT!

Should know something in a few hours as to who and when.

First time in school history they have made back to back post season tournament appearances.

I'm guessing they'll be playing either at Utah or at BYU. Both will be a real challenge, they have huge teams. BYU has a 6-7 center averaging in double figures.

Utah has three players 6-3.

ISU Athletics ‏@ISUBengals

With everything that's gone on the past few weeks and all the road games / trips, this one is going to be a real challenge for the players.

Hope Ash, Kayla and the seniors can play well.

BYU is in the West Coast Conference lost to Gonzaga in the conference tournament.

21-10 this year, 13-1 at home.

Four players 6-1 or bigger (6-7, 6-2, 6-2, 6-1)

Jenn Hamson their 6-7 center played against Jess Jensen in high school.

BYU averages about mid 60's in PPG and has seven players who average at least seven points a game. Three of those average in double figures.

Don't know how they draw for the women, I assume they play in the Marriott Center?

Head Coach is Jeff Judkins, who had a great career at Utah and played for four different teams in the NBA.

Nice job ladies! Making history...

 

[PBP]

Cyd made the trip and practiced...so did Abby, bad knee and all. That's all I can tell you.

I assume they'll both play but of course only Seton knows for sure.
