In response to rbg
Tigers had open looks early in the game and were throwing up some bricks -- appeared to be a case of nerves from courtside. Even with that, they had a very good opportunity to go into the fourth quarter in a very tight game even if only they hit just a few of the 72% missed shots including 2 or 3 additional 3 pointers.
Thought that they would lose by 20 but they had every opportunity to be in a single digit game which certainly could have helped their NCAAW Tournament prospects if somehow they lose IvyMadness.
Meyers and Mitchell are special players and Mitchell is only a sophomore plus everyone is back other than Meyers with a high level of new recruits. Game would certainly be different if Littlefield was on the court for Princeton rather than NC.
Someone recently commented that Princeton President attends basketball games so what else can he do based on some criticism about IL Presidents. One of my comments was that players like Littlefied, Towns, Aiken, etc. should have had at least the opportunity to play 4 full years at their IL school. Always believe that the lack of real commitment by IL Presidents lead to the early departure of Carril, Banghart, etc. What sealed the deal for Banghart was probably the ibtroduction of IvyMadness.
If you really want to compete at an elite level, you need to have an elite commitment level. That does not currently exist.
