A Check Of Princeton's Thanksgiving Week; Five Details For Seton Hall Game
November 29, 2016 | Women's Basketball
PRINCETON, N.J. - Princeton's busy Thanksgiving week came to end with two victories including a record-breaking performance vs. UMBC. Let's enjoy a quick review of last week and look at five things to be aware of for the Seton Hall contest.
Â
The Week That Was
Delaware 66, Princeton 62 (Recap) (Highlights)
Princeton 64, Rutgers 34 (Recap) (Highlights)
Princeton 69, UMBC 58 (Recap) (Highlights)
Nicole Enabosi –  Princeton held Delaware's leading scorer and rebounder to 2-of-8 (25.0 percent) shooting and five rebounds. Enabosi made her presence felt on the free throw line, going 6-of-9 from the charity stripe along with snagging four offensive rebounds in the Blue Hens' 66-62 victory.
Â
Sade Chatman – The redshirt junior was one of four Blue Hens in double figures, finishing with 12 points. Chatman's biggest impact was rebounding, tying for the team lead with eight boards. Her two free throws with two seconds to go sealed the win for Delaware.
Â
Youth Is Served – Rutgers started three sophomores and two juniors against Princeton. The Tigers held the Scarlet Knights to 11-of-54 shooting (20.4 percent) and under 10 points in two quarters, rolling to a 64-34 win.
Â
Taylor McCarley – Princeton's defense shined once again as it held UMBC's best shooter and leading scorer to four points on 2-of-6 (33.3 percent) from the floor. Trailing as the fourth quarter got underway, the Tigers clamped down on defense allowing just one bucket in the frame, turning a four-point deficit into an 11-point victory.
Â
Three-Point Opportunity – UMBC placed 321st in three-point field goal percentage defense (40.9) coming into the holiday week and Princeton exploited that to the tune of a new program record 14 three-pointers. Junior Kenya Holland had a game-high 19 points, adding five from beyond the arc. The Tigers' 37 three-point attempts were also a record.
Â
Seton Hall comes to Jadwin Gymnasium tomorrow with tip-off scheduled for 6 p.m. Here are five items to follow for the contest.
Â
In Your Face! – Seton Hall places 18th in the country in blocked shots/game (6.2), highlighted by Jayla Jones-Pack's 2.0 swats a night. If Princeton can hit shots from outside, that could open up the paint for the team's guards to get to the basket.
Â
Hey That's Mine! – The Pirates sit 13th in Division I in steals per game (13.8) with Kaela Hilarie is among the top 20 nationally (3.5, 18th). Seton Hall is one of the country's best in forcing turnovers (22.5). At just over 18 turnovers a contest, Princeton must be careful with the basketball. In the Tigers' four losses this season, they have turned the ball over 80 times.
Â
Three-Point Stand Off – Seton Hall has taken a lot of three-pointers. In fact, the Pirates' 153 over six games ranks 19th in the NCAA. The Big East foe is only shooting 30.1 percent from long distance while Princeton places among the nation's best in three-point defense (22.6 percent). If head coach Courtney Banghart's team can stop the Pirates from beyond the arc, the Tigers could find their third victory in a row.
Offense Starter? – Princeton has Bella Alarie averaging over double-digits in points, but have had four different players lead the team in scoring during games. With Seton Hall ranking 292nd in the country in scoring defense (72.8), Princeton will look to get others involved such as juniors Kenya Holland, Leslie Robinson. Holland is coming off a career game vs. UMBC while Robinson secured a double-double at Delaware.
Â
Rebounding Prowess – After getting outrebounded by eight over their first three games, the Tigers have won the rebounding battle in the last three matchups by 26. Seton Hall has one of the worst rebounding margins in the country (-8.2, 309th). Robinson has snagged at least four rebounds in five of Princeton's six games this season including back-to-back 12-rebound performances. Alarie has ripped down seven or more boards in four contests while senior Vanessa Smith is up to 5.2 rebounds per game.
