This is by no mean a knock on Princeton's men's basketball team, which won the Ivies last year and almost knocked off Kentucky in the first-round of the NCAA tournament.
That said. . .
The Princeton women's team is going to the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive year, is 21-4, has won 14 straight, is 11-0 in the Ivies and is flat-out dismantling its Ivy opponents. That's right -- dismantling. Or destroying. Or annihilating.
Coach Carril's motto was "Play to Win." Coach Courtney Banghart is honoring that motto and then some on Carril Court at Jadwin Gymnasium. Her teams are fun to watch.
You hear about Harvard's men's team, about the wondrous or miraculous recruiting efforts of Tommy Amaker in Cambridge, about how Harvard was nationally ranked and how the Princeton men upset them a week ago in Jadwin, and all that helps create good stories for the Ivy men's teams. What -- or who -- gets overlooked amidst all that press are the Princeton women.
Hats off to Coach Courtney Banghart and her team for another outstanding year!
Play to Win?
Play to Win!

Well said, SportsProf. On March 6 the Tiger women entertain Penn at 3:00PM. The men's teams square off at 7:00PM. Might be worth another trip to Jadwin. I am surprised that I have not read much about the Tigers' leading scorer and her point guard. What a great story...
