2022-23 Her Hoops Information

•Princeton is ranked No. 17 in the NCAA in Her Hoops Stats Defensive Rating (77.9), a statistic that controls for pace and adjusts defensive rating for the strength of the offenses teams have faced.
Â
•The Tigers are No. 38 in Her Hoops Stats Rating (22.1), a rating of teams that controls for pace, adjusts for opponent quality, and incorporates margin of victory in addition to wins and losses.
Â
•Berube's unit is also No. 54 in Simple RPI (58.0) which treats all games equally (25% Team Win %, 50% Average Opponent Win %, 50% Average Opponent's Average Opponent Win %). It is different from the NCAA RPI because the NCAA RPI values home wins as 0.6 wins, home losses as 1.4 losses, away wins as 1.4 wins, and away losses as 0.6 losses.
Â

Â
•Cunningham's block rate (4.2) also ranks in the 89th percentile among NCAA players. Block rate is percentage of opponent's two-point shots that are blocked.
Â
Among the Best ...
•The Tigers have the longest conference winning streak in the country, both men or women, at 42. That's also the longest such streak in Ivy history.
Â
Shoot Around Fun
