Did you ever pause to think Ms Griffith might not be amused to be referred to as "GF"? I do not know what her preference is for that or for opponent in the ILT, but I suspect, as with the other post's crack about "coaches in dresses", references to co-eds, it reveals a dated nomenclature, not to say Weltanschauung-tho' I just said it!

BTW: I got no problem with "the girls in their summer dresses" at all!

Regardless of what she wants, I think that Princeton would be a much tougher matchup for the Lions.

Harvard only has one great player and the rest (all due respect) are relatively mediocre.

Princeton has 4 outstanding starters: Chea, Becker, Tall, and the tall redhead (is it Parker-Hall or Hill?). The Nigerian girl ( i'm terrible with names) whose brother played for Columbia is also very good as are some other bench players. Columbia beat Princeton twice but they were close. in the first game Columbia was getting whooped at the half, and then nothing went well for Pton after intermission. The 2nd game was a heavyweight bout that broke the lions way late.

I just don't see Harvard as a great team and I dont think they will surprise the lions like they did in NY. More likely to be a Columbia rout like in Cambridge.

Although agree with your analysis about the relative strengths of a finals matchup with the Lions, am VERY concerned about that one great Harvard player who was able disrupt CU’s game at Levien. Megan will need a strategy to prevent a
repeat performance and to get Riley Weiss untracked.

If I were Coach Griffith watching last evening's P=H game, I would very much prefer to play Harvard.

In my humble opinion, it is much, much easier to defend against one transcendant player and four competent but not big-time supporting cast members. Facing a team with three or four legitimate threats (as with Columbia or Princeton) is a much tougher challenge.

I'm shocked that a coach very focused on defense such as Berube had no answers for Turner. No help defense, no early double-teaming, no box-and-one, no zone defense as a change of pace. Turner got everything she wanted, every trip down the court.

It's almost as if Princeton was surprised that Harvard had one really good player. "I'm shocked -- shocked! -- that the conference POY is excellent."

From a basketball coaching perspective, that was professional malpractice from Coach Berube. That game will haunt her the rest of her career.
