Good wins, bad wins: who cares?

I think this is fascinating. I am "blown away" by his ranking of Princeton. I know their record, but the ivy league is really a weak sister in women's basketball. The NCAA, historically, does not give much credit to the ivies, which is why I still believe Princeton will have a low seed, in whatever region they are placed. I do respect their new coach, and that can make a difference. But if they win a single game ( much less two ) in the big dance , I will be shocked ( but also really pleased ). I want the ivies to do well ( I am an alum of one ), but I won't become a believer until I see it happen. I know the Harvard women ( once ranked 16 in their region ) did upset Stanford ( number 1 ) ...but that was a long while back. Since then, I don't recall an ivy team ( women ) winning any game in the NCAA tourney. Though I have not done the research to confirm.

Princeton has a good club this year with two big time players: Alarie and Littlefield. They shoot well for both 2s and 3s. Charlie Creme, while not ranking them as high as Massie, has given them a top twenty seed.

We’ll see but two wins from a high ranking may not be out of the question.

Princeton lost only 1 game in the 2015 season. They were undefeated going into the NCAA Tournament until Maryland beat them in the second round. Princetons only lost of the year. It was the second time an Ivy League school went pass the 1st round.

President Obamas niece played for Princeton. He went to a game or two that year.
