North Dakota State and Washington State play in NIT matchup

The North Dakota State Bison, with a 20-11 record, will host the Washington State Cougars, who have a 21-13 record, in the Women's National Invitation Tournament Super 16 game in Fargo on Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT.
This game marks the first-ever meeting between North Dakota State and Washington State, with NDSU finishing third in the Summit League regular season and WSU finishing third in the WCC.
North Dakota State secured their Super 16 appearance after a close 68-65 win against New Mexico State, sealed by clutch free throws from sophomore guard Abby Krzewinski, while WSU narrowly escaped Utah Valley with a 57-54 victory.
Jory Collins wants consistent building, stating post-game against New Mexico State, 'He doesn't want this to be a special thing anymore'.
Key players for North Dakota State include Avery Koenen, averaging 14 points and 1.1 blocks, and Draper, averaging double-digit points, while Washington State's Eleonora Villa is averaging 13.6 points, and the game's outcome may depend on whether the Cougars can find separation on offense, considering that WSU allows 64.8 points per game.
