The Texas Southern women's basketball team returns to the postseason for the first time in seven years as they'll host Saint Mary's College Thursday night inside the H&PE Arena for a Women's NIT contest.The team earned the SWAC's Automatic Qualifier by virtue of its second-place finish this season and it also marks the team's fourth NIT Appearance overall and first postseason appearance since 2015. TSU participated in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 NIT Tournaments while hosting a Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) contest in 2018. This mark's the team's first time ever hosting an NIT contest inside the H&PE Arena.
Located in Moraga, Calif. and members of the West Coast Conference, the Gaels are making their first appearance in the WNIT since 2019 and their 13th appearance in program history. They finished sixth in WCC play with an overall mark of 14-16 as both teams have common opponents in Cal Baptist. The teams last met Dec. 14, 1998 as SMC won 77-50. SMC is 2-0 all-time against the SWAC as they defeated Prairie View A&M in 2007.
Thursday's game also marks a SWAC reunion of sorts as both head coaches graduated from Alcorn State.
Tickets for Thursday's game are $10 and will be available online starting Tuesday. TSU students, faculty and staff must present a valid student ID for admittance while season ticket holders must present their 2024-25 season pass.
