The 2016 Women's National Invitation Tournament is a single-elimination tournament of 64 NCAA Division I teams that were not selected to participate in the 2016 Women's NCAA tournament. The annual tournament began on March 16 and ended on April 2, with the championship game televised on CBS Sports Network. All games will be played on the campus sites of participating schools.

Participants
The 2016 Postseason WNIT field will consist of 32 automatic invitations – one from each conference – and 32 (or more) at-large teams. The intention of the WNIT Selection Committee is to select the best available at-large teams in the nation. A team offered an automatic berth by the WNIT shall be the team that is the highest-finishing team in its conference's regular-season standings, and not selected for the NCAA Tournament. A team that fulfills these qualities, and accepts, will earn the WNIT automatic berth for its conference, regardless of overall record. The remaining berths in the WNIT are filled by the best teams available. Any team considered for an at-large berth must have an overall record of .500 or better.  Should a conference's automatic qualifier team decline the WNIT bid, the conference forfeits its AQ spot and that berth goes into the at-large pool. NC State and Arkansas qualified as invitees from the ACC and SEC respectively but each declined to participate.

Monteleone di Spoleto (in Antiquity, the Roman town of Brufa), is a town and comune of Italy, in the province of Perugia in southeast Umbria at 978 meters (3209 ft) above sea-level overhanging the upper valley of the Corno River. It is one of the more remote towns in Umbria, on a mountain road from Norcia and Cascia (33 km and 12 km NNE respectively) to Leonessa and Rieti in the Lazio (10 km S and 51 km SSW). It is a member of the I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy") association.

The population of the comune was 648 in 2010, with the town proper accounting for about half of that; the frazioni of Monteleone are Butino, Rescia, Ruscio, and Trivio.

History
Monteleone is famous for one of the world's great archaeological finds: a 6th‑century BC Etruscan chariot that quickly followed the path of money and by the early 20th century had already wound up in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. A copy of the chariot is on display in Monteleone. There remain, however, few if any traces of the town's Roman days: destroyed and rebuilt by the Spoletans in the 12th century, it offers at present an essentially medieval appearance.

Main Sights
The main monument in Monteleone is the 14th-century church of San Francesco, with a  cloister now serving as a lapidary museum, a Gothic door and a  fresco of Christ crucified in the full robes of a bishop, with a loaf of bread under one foot and a chalice of wine under the other. Under the cloister a second church can be seen, complete with a 14th‑century fresco. Other monuments include several other medieval churches, the 15th‑century Palazzo Bernabò, and vestiges of the town's medieval walls,  including a  clock tower.

The Santa Margherita Madonna is a 1529-1530 oil on panel painting by Parmigianino, now in the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna.

History
A fundamental work from the artist's time in Bologna between 1527 and 1530, it was painted for the nuns of the Santa Margherita convent. In his Lives of the Artists Vasari stated that it showed "Our Lady, Saint Margaret of Antioch, Saint Petronius, Saint Jerome and Saint Michael". In 1686 Malvasia stated it had been commissioned by the Giusti family, but this was in error since that family only owned that chapel from 27 August 1529 onwards and in fact the nuns had on 8 April 1530 given the painting and 150,000 lire in exchange for a house next door to the nunnery from Giovanni Maria Giusti, so that that nobleman could decorate his chapel there as soon as the convent church was complete.

Lamo (1560) and Zanti (1583) both praised the work, adjudging it "one of the rare things, considered extremely rare". In 1674 Scaramuccia stated it was among Guido Reni's favourite paintings, whilst in 1784 father Ireneo Affò called it "the most beautiful of all" the artist's works.

Nationalore (1995–2000) was a black thoroughbred gelding who contended the 1998 Kentucky Derby, despite having won none of his previous fifteen races, a record number at the time. He broke down during a race in 2000 and was euthanized. In his career, he finished in second or third place fourteen times. Nationalore was racing's richest maiden (non-winning horse), with earnings of $318,227.

Nationalore was by Video Ranger (fourth in the 1990 Kentucky Derby) out of Romantic Jet. He was trained and bred by his owner, Myung Kwon Cho.

As a two-year-old, he ran ten races, finishing second twice. That year, his fourth race in 34 days, and his most lucrative result, was third place in the Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile, which earned him $120,000.

As a three-year-old, he was entered into the Kentucky Derby with career earnings of $283,767 from 15 races. Although Nationalore had won no races when he entered the Derby, he had earned more money than seven other starters in the race. Before the race, his assistant trainer, Rafael Martinez, said that Nationalore was better suited to distances longer than those in the races he had been running, and the Derby, being a quarter-mile longer, would suit him better. Nationalore went on to finish ninth from a field of 15 runners.

Nationalore was five years old when he was euthanized on 12 July 2000 after falling in a race at Hollywood Park and fracturing his shoulder. His final race was his 26th start.
