The first round of the Women's NIT finished today, so "area" teams in the second round are:
Northern Iowa beat Creighton, 64-63
St. Louis beat Milwaukee, 61-44
Also, just noticed that the Women's NIT (at least this year) is a double-elimination tournament, so there's a "consolation bracket". On that side of things:
Arizona State beats Missouri, 50-39
Manhattan beats Loyola Chicago, 56-51
Drake beat DePaul, 100-91
Illinois State beat Samford, 68-62
Northern Iowa beat Creighton, 64-63
St. Louis beat Milwaukee, 61-44
