Good for them! George Washington was 15-17 overall and 7-11 in the A-10, and tied for 9th place. They are 11-5 at home.
Their NET is 172, compared to Bradley's NET of 159. It's definitely a winnable game for the BU women.
Too bad they have to travel so far. One difference with the WNIT is that it is a "pay to play" tournament.
Unlike the NCAA Tournament or the Women’s Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT- run by the NCAA), schools participating in the WNIT must pay to host games and cover their own travel costs.
Financial details of the WNIT include:
- Hosting Fees: Teams pay a guarantee to host games, which can be around $5,000–$7,000 for the first round and up to $10,000–$15,000 or more for later rounds.
- Travel Costs: Participating schools are responsible for covering travel expenses.
- For-Profit Structure: The WNIT is operated by Triple Crown Sports, not the NCAA.
- Budgeting: While it is a pay-to-play model, the WNIT often helps to set maximum costs for travel to make it more affordable for institutions.
- Broadcast Channels: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN News, and ESPN+
- Championship Date: April 5, 2025 (3 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network)
