The Startrib note made it sound as if they weren't invited.

The Gophers women’s basketball team’s season is officially over, after they were not selected for either the 64-team Women’s NIT or the 16-team Women’s Basketball Invitational on Monday, following the announcement of the NCAA tournament.

Strib article is not very well researched. It says we were not SELECTED but that is different than whether we were invited. WBI web site spells out a process where WBI contacts teams and offers and then teams decide whether to sign up. From info provided we can't tell if we told WBI not to bother or if they offered and we said no thanks or if they just didn't offer. Based on our RPI and record it would appear we probably could have gotten in if we really wanted to.
