Utah State women's basketball will have its season extended as the Aggies will host South Dakota in the Women's Basketball Invitational at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 21, at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. The Aggies are the third seed in the WBI West Region, while USD is the sixth seed.
Utah State is led by Devyn Christensen, who averages 20.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game. She was named to the all-tournament team at last week's WAC Tournament after pouring in 37 points, including nine three-pointers, in a semifinal loss to eventual champion Idaho
South Dakota is 17-15 this season. Nicole Seekamp leads the Coyotes in scoring averaging 14.2 points per game. Tempestt Wilson is second on the team in scoring with 12.9 points.
This is the second time this season that the Aggies and the Coyotes have met in the Spectrum. On Dec. 20, Utah State snapped a five-game losing streak with a 70-69 win over South Dakota. Christensen drilled a three-pointer with 10 seconds left to propel USU to victory.
The winner of the USU-USD game will take on the winner of the game between second-seeded Lamar and Presbyterian. This is the third-straight season that Utah State has advanced to the postseason with back-to-back WNIT berths.
