West Virginia declines invitation to women's NIT
The West Virginia women’s basketball team declined an invitation to play in the 2022 WNIT, according to director of athletics Shane Lyons.
“While we appreciate the invitation for our women’s basketball team to participate in the 2022 WNIT, we have made the difficult decision to decline the invite this year,” Lyons said. “Team injuries, along with student-athletes set to enter the transfer portal, have limited our roster availability, and we would not be able to provide a competitive or positive experience for our student-athletes.”
West Virginia finished 15-15 overall with a 7-11 mark in the Big 12 this season. The Mountaineers reached the Big 12 quarterfinals before falling to Iowa State, 66-60.
