With a win in the first game, the Aggies would play either Louisiana-Lafayette (20-11 in 2016-17) or New Orleans (14-15 in 2016-17) in the second round. The Aggies would face Cal State Northridge, Drake, Milwaukee or Oregon in the semifinal, should the Aggies advance that far. Each team is guaranteed at least three games in the Preseason WNIT, with consolation games scheduled for teams who lose before the semifinals.

The Aggies went 22-12 in 2016-17, reaching the NCAA Tournament for the 12th consecutive year, and advanced to the Second Round.
