| By losing this game, Princeton is proving that they aren't one of the Top 16 teams in the country, which Gonzaga and Dayton did by winning yesterday.

clock struck midnite i guess.
PU coach is one stubborn idiot, imo.
Terps got another ~8 pts before she begrudgingly called for time.

I don't think you can coach a 31-0 team and be an idiot.

It's new territory for her this season.

Agreed, she should have called timeout a long time ago.

probably true, but some NFL coaches never get a handle on clock management....she may be the same.
It was obvious the Tigers were gassed in addition to the Terps scoring at will. To wait for the media TO was a poor choice imo.

| I say Mincy gets drafted ahead of Malott. I would have said that even before this game.

Maryland showed a lack of class by trying to score when they could hold the ball.
Princeton shot 58% in first half and then in the low 30's in the second. If they had kept making shots they might have outscored Maryland. Maryland's defense was exposed tonight.
There's hope for Tenn.

| It seems likely that this will be the closest of the 1/8 matchups

We know their coach has none.

When the shot clock is about to expire there is no lack of class when shooting the ball. I'm confident not one of the Tigers would agree w/ the contrary sentiment.
If if if if if if if if if. If PU was better than an 8 seed, maybe they would have had a chance to win. They played the weakest #1 on its home court and made a game of it for a half. No shame or surprise in that.
Whatever metric Massey uses, it grossly overrated PU.

Weakest #1 is debateable. A little nervous bravado coming to surface?

Nervous about what? Bravado about what?
It's accepted in the world of WCB that MD is the #4 #1.
Do you disagree?

I'm not sure how this lose proves anything, I don't think they should have been a 4 or a 5 seed, but certainly they have a valid argument for a #7 seed and this game doesn't do anything to prove otherwise. Sure they lost to a #1 seed, but any #7 seed would also be expected to lose to a #1 seed and I'm not sure that an argument can be made the of the 4 #7 seeds all of them were significantly better than Princeton.

| Frese was a little bothered by Obama's bracket, eh? Helped her with the motivational part of the job.

Agreed 100%. She's good but has gotten way too much credit for Maryland's success this season.
