Trojans Earn At-Large Bid to WNIT

Full Bracket

LITTLE ROCK – The Little Rock women's basketball team has at least one more game to play this year.
 
The Trojans were selected as an at-large team for the Women's NIT on Monday night and will play at Saint Louis on Thursday. The game's time is expected to be announced on Tuesday.

Little Rock will be making its fourth appearance in the WNIT and its first since 2013 when it played at Pacific. The Trojans are 0-3 lifetime in WNIT appearances after losing at Southern Miss in 2008 and at home against Murray State in 2009.

Little Rock has played Saint Louis just once in its history, losing a contest on the Billikens' home court in 2003. A win Thursday would pit the Trojans against the winner of Thursday's game between Iowa and Ball State.
 
The Trojans are coming off a Sun Belt Tournament that saw them earn the No. 2 seed and make it to the championship game before being defeated by Troy. Little Rock began the year 5-11 before winning its next 15 games to finish the regular season and Sun Belt Tournament with a 20-12 overall record.
 
Little Rock's destination, opponent, game date and time will follow later Monday night.
