No, not the Packers. :)

This looks like a fun game.

POTUS is there with his brother-in-law, Coach Robinson. I thought about going. Maybe on Monday.

Blake Dietrick is impressive--the all-time leading scorer at Wellesley High, male or female, in BOTH basketball and lacrosse. She's the Ivy POY and leader in both points and assists.

Is Courtney Banghart the next ... UConn coach?
 
A good game so far. Princeton is killing them on the boards but Green Bay is quicker and they're keeping the game close. UConn plays one speed faster than GB and 2 speeds faster than Princeton.
 
The last :15 shows that you cannot relax against Princeton. That was a big layup that GB missed. Blows the two points and scatters the defense, giving up an open shot at the buzzer.
 
UConn was tied with Green Bay at 26 in November. Then UConn went on an 11-0 run. The second half was 50-25.
 
And security didn't even take my knitting needles, for which I am grateful. Princeton has some serious shooters. It's been a fun game to watch.
 
This game is great!!! Cool that POTUS has family playing today right in his metro area and could go.

Green Bay collapsing. I've never seen a team decline so many open shots for ones that are heavily defended. Odd.
 
I'm not sure the Princeton crowd is bigger than green bay's, but they sure are loud.

It's difficult listening to the incompetent Dave O'Brien, the absolute worst announcer in WCBB, drone on repeatedly that Princeton is using "their great size advantage" to beat Green Bay on the backboards. They ain't that much bigger, you dummy O'Brien It's all about EFFORT and TOUGHNESS and in those two categories, Princeton is beating the crap out of GB.

Great ending. Green Bay made it close in the last five or so minutes or so, but when they started to foul Princeton, I knew it was over.

Smart of POTUS to leave before the celebration. Put the attention on the team.

That, and they took him out the locker room tunnel. I don't think security let Green Bay leave the court until POTUS was gone. Better to clear out early to minimize disruption.

Both teams have weaknesses, but Princeton just kept on working.
 
Wow, 50-22 edge for Princeton on rebounds. That will open some eyes.
 
It was an entertaining game. I'm looking forward to seeing Princeton vs. Maryland, it could be a very interesting match up. Hoping for Princeton to earn a spot in the Sweet 16!

I wondered about that too. Maybe the kids who were open were not their distance shooters.
 
The Tigers will need their A+ game on Monday. Or for Maryland to bring their C game. It's possible, but it will be uphill for 40 minutes.

No, this will be competitive. A few lucky breaks and Princeton could easily win. At best Maryland is 8 to 10 points better than Princeton, probably more like 5 or 6. And if it's close, which it probably will be, the crowd will be with Princeton and Maryland will be feeling some serious, serious pressure.

I doubt the crowd on Maryland's home court will pull for Princeton at any point.

I hope so, but I think Maryland will be too fast and quick.

Princeton will have 1 more fan if I go. I think I still have a Princeton sweatshirt from my son's college tours.

Princeton will have the better coach.
 
if Princeton beats Maryland and UConn makes the Final Four, the national semis opponent could well be the Lady Vols.

Not if they play like they did against Boise State. They might not make it to the Sweet 16 :)

Wrong-O.

The Maryland crowd will be out in force on Monday. I predict a near sellout.

All I can say is...


it's gonna be a Barn Burner!

I was standing behind some moronic lady who had a purse with tons of stuff she didn't need to watch a BB game on top of other stuff including stuff in her pockets. Took ten minutes for them to check her. Some other moron tried to take a pocketknife in.

That happened to me once too - Game 3 of 2001 World Series, Pres Bush's first public appearance after 9/11, throwing out the first pitch in Yankee Stadium. They forced everyone through one entrance gate equipped with airport scanners.

People didn't know the President was going to be there; regular security mostly just cares about smuggling food in to dodge the concession stand prices. I used to carry a pocket knife every day until I lost/forgot it in a backpack pocket (and airport security found it, goodbye little knife). Random stuff always ends up in purses, too; mine is mostly yarn, tools for putting my hair up, and month-old receipts, but other people would have their odds and ends. Doesn't make them morons.
