Fading M. Hoops Undone By Killer P’s

Mike Bechtold’s second-half spurt spoils seven-point halftime lead at Princeton

“Eighteen is not a number of turnovers we can normally create,” Dunphy said.

By the end of the game, the Quakers were toying with the Crimson. Up 58-37 with 5:30 left in the game, Tim Begley hooked up with Ugonna Onyekwe for a monster alley-oop, electrifying the crowd of 4,152 at the Palestra. On the game, the Quakers speed and turnovers resulted in five alley-oops. Onyekwe finished the game with 19 points, and a game high 10 rebounds.
