GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida women's basketball received a bid into the 2024 Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament as a No. 3 seed. The Gators will host St. John's (17-14, 11-8 BIG EAST) for round one of the postseason tournament on Thursday at 7 p.m.

The 32-team Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament was chosen by a selection committee made up of five former Division I women's basketball coaches and three current/former Division I athletic administrators. The top-16 teams will host first-round games and ESPN will serve as the television broadcast partner for all WBIT games.

The Gators will take on St. John's after last playing on March 8 in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals. Florida fell 84-74 to Ole Miss after making a historic run in Greenville, S.C. The Red Storm also found its way to the quarterfinals playing Georgetown in the BIG EAST postseason tournament, ultimately falling 53-44.
