SEATTLE — The 2009-10 University of Washington women’s basketball team is not done yet.
On Monday, the Huskies (12-16) accepted a bid to the Women’s Basketball Invitational. UW will host Portland on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
The Huskies thought their season ended last week, when Pac-10 doormat Oregon State upset them in the first round of the conference tournament. But coach Tia Jackson and her team will get a chance to be a part of the WBI, which is for teams that don’t qualify for the NCAA tournament and aren’t invited to the Women’s NIT.
“We’re thrilled that we still have an opportunity to play in front of our fans again,” Jackson said.
