Coming back to Kingston after a successful Las Vegas tournament hopes were high that our Lady Rams would continue their winning ways. But Quinnipiacxzyknnt had other plans and pulled off a buzzer beater win while their two best players had fouled out for the last five minutes of the game. A combination of atrocious 3-point and foul shooting and porous defense contributed to the defeat. And as I posted elsewhere Tammi's insistence on keeping the two freshmen Eva and Katie on the bench instead of giving them the chance to prove their high school scoring prowess transfers to the college game remains a problem.
Now #25 Princeton comes to town for a critical game. They have 2 outstanding guards in Kaitlyn Chen (17.6 ppg) and Skye Belker (11.1 ppg). 6'1" Ellie Mitchell averages 12.1 rebounds a game, good for 4th in the country. They boast signature wins against #22 Oklahoma and lost by only 3 points against #3 UCLA. And they hit a last-second shot to beat us 56-54 last year.
Maye and Tenin have to bring their best offensive game, our guards must shoot better and we need a return to relentless defense to have any chance of winning today. Go Lady Rams!
