The Buffs are one of 64 schools slated to participate in the 2011 Women�s National Invitational Tournament. CU is one of three Big 12 Conference schools in the tournament in addition to Kansas and Oklahoma State.
Colorado (15-15) will open the tournament by hosting UC Riverside (19-12) on Thursday at the Coors Events Center.
The post-season invitation marks the 19th such occasion for the program, which last made an appearance in the WNIT in 2008. That year, the Buffs made a run to the semifinals.
