    In response to sparman

If you're up by 27 but with time still to play in the first half, there's still time for the other team to come back. :-(

If you're up by 27 with 5:21 to play, by 26 with 4:19 to play, by 27 with 3:40 to play (all of these instances are when Princeton shot FTs and could have made substitutions--but did not) and Penn itself only scored 7 points during that 4th quarter, I think it's beyond absurd and in very bad taste that you wait the final minute of the game before taking out your starters.

If you're up by, what, 30 points in the final quarter, and your opponents aren't getting anything done (and weren't for most of the game), enough already. That coach has no class. Sorry to say it, but true.


Of all people, Penn fans should know that a big lead doesn't guarantee anything. 27 point comeback. I imagine she was trying to keep her team focused because the next game will require full effort. Plus as others have pointed out, PU only scored 8 points in the final Q and was taking the full 40 seconds off each possession. Sounds like easing up to me.

She was carrying a two-year old boy during the post-game handshakes. Was that her kid? If she started a family in the past few years, I missed it.


And if anyone would be spending time monitoring her personal life ......
