The Waiting Game
The Green Bay women's basketball team (26-5) suffered a 90-66 loss to eventual Horizon League tournament champion Cleveland State on Friday. Green Bay must now await its postseason fate, as the team has hopes of securing an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament. According to guidelines set by the WNIT, the Phoenix, as the regular season champion for the Horizon League, would receive a berth in its 48-team field if Green Bay is not selected in the NCAA Tournament.
