I agree - a wonderful article!
Where is everybody? I don't know if I can watch the game...my stomach is in a knot. I'm no one's mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend or anything else - just an old townie who grew up on Princeton basketball. I can't believe it! Thanks to Mitch and this fantastic team for providing a March Madness to remember.

With SD State beating Alabama, if Princeton can win, it will face a 5 seed to get to the Final Four

I'm sitting in front of a TV that is delivering TBS via Roku. It's dropped me twice. Hoping to avoid that in the next three hours.
How about San Diego State knocking off Alabama? I'm not shocked, but it's good for another round of "Anything is possible!" Houston down to Miami by 14 with about seven minutes left, also.
Let's keep rocking.

Whatever happens, I'm so proud of this team. After that second Yale loss, I never could have imagined we'd be here. So let's enjoy the moment and keep dancing...
Game should start in ~5 minutes or so.

Have to start connecting. C is a good shooting team. They seem a bit tight.

Too many easy layups given up. Not making them work for shots.

Struggling a bit to get looks in the half-court, but I see potential. D seems to be geared toward avoiding assists from drivers, but the Bluejays are getting all the way to the hoop as the potential helpers move out of the way.

Creighton playing absolutely incredible offense.
We need to get more physical since refs aren't calling light contact (which I agree with).

Bluejays are as advertised--very smooth and unselfish passers with lots of individual scoring ability. And plenty of height.

If C could just revert to the mean on those 3s.

How are we still in this?!
Creighton can't miss - admittedly there's shooting wide open shots - but our guys are keeping up on the scoreboard.
Just stay within single digits at the half and I'll be happy.

Entertaining game, at least. I like the Tigers' no-fear approach on offense, taking it right to the Creighton defenders and finishing or following at the rim. That's opened up the outside shooting.

Trailing 47-43 at the half, but that's a great result considering the start.
We didn't bring the energy on defense until the under-12 timeout. Gotta stay on Scheierman and let Kalkbrenner go 1-on-1 down low. Only 1 of his 4 buckets are post-ups.
Great job by Peters not being shaken by his 1-3 FTs. He nailed his next 3pt look to keep us in it.

Down four at the half. Kellman struggling a bit with Creighton's length, but still contributing. Tosan has his season assist average already. Langborg and Peters with some clutch baskets. It's just hard to guard these guys.
