WHAT A GAME!
This was insane
Best individual performance (considering the stakes) by a mile in my 15 years of following the league, men’s or women’s.
We’ll see what the committee does with Princeton - probably in a coin flip with 2-3 other teams for the last spot, but their last impression today was much better than the others’ IMO.
Agree on everything. I don’t know what else can be done to get 3 bids. Princeton showed what a complete team they are. They just had a basketball god in front today. If the committee saw this game, I don’t think there is any doubt both teams belong to the NCAA tournament. Princeton should also have bonus points for consistently having good performances there every year
It would be a great experience for a very young team.
Agree with Whitaker. One comparison was the time Devin Cannady scored 8 points in 9 seconds to send a game into OT. The difference is Turner was that hot for 40 minutes. Nevers saw anything like that in our League since Bill Bradley! Congrats. Harmoni. Glad you will soon strut your stuff on the national stage.

Maybe I’m just permanently cynical about the basketball committee, but I think it could matter for PU how well Harvard plays Columbia. Turner played all 40 minutes.
I keep thinking about what happened to Columbia in the NCAA after Griffith’s comments last year and wondering if there isn’t some residual committee annoyance. Now would be a good spot to put those thoughts to rest.
I think both teans should be in no matter what. Harvard Q1 record is outstanding for a bubble team. And Columbia’s resume does not have any cons. Even in the case that Columbia wins by a lot today, Harmoni herself is enough reason to give Harvard an at-large, given the situation.
