The UNI women are at Florida Thursday night in the opening round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament. The Panthers are 17-16 and this is the second year for the W-B-I-T.

That’s Panther coach Tanya Warren. Florida enters the game with a record of 16-17.

Warren says the Panthers are excited by the opportunity.

UNI is one of four Missouri Valley teams in the field.
