Women's NCAA Tournament vs St. John's

Hello, this is Kevin Whitaker here in Tallahassee, where the 11th-seeded women's basketball team will be taking on No. 6 St. John's. The Red Storm finished tied for fourth in the Big East, and bring a 24-6 record into the tournament, but Princeton is one of the hottest teams in the nation, having won 21 consecutive games, all by double digits. The Tigers have only two losses this season, and went a perfect 14-0 in the Ivy League to win their first outright league title since the '70s.

There are more similarities between these two teams than you would think. Both teams are led by underclassmen: Princeton's leading scorers are freshman Niveen Rasheed and sophomore Lauren Edwards, while the Red Storm is paced by sophomore Da'Shena Stevens and freshman Shenneika Smith. Also, neither of these teams has much tournament experience. This is Princeton's first NCAA tournament appearance ever, and St. John's has been to the dance only twice in the past 22 years.

St. John's comes into the game ranked No. 17 in the ESPN/USA Today poll and No. 15 in the AP Top 25 poll. Princeton received votes in each, and was the first team listed outside the top 25 in the ESPN/USA Today poll.

The game will be one of four shown at this time on ESPN2, and is viewable in its entirety on ESPN360.com.
