Kentucky women's basketball tops Princeton in NCAA Tournament opener

RALEIGH, N.C. — Once Maci Morris warmed up, she made sure her final NCAA Tournament appearance at Kentucky wouldn't be a short one.

Morris had 19 points in her highest-scoring game in nearly two months, and the Wildcats beat Princeton 82-77 on Saturday in the first round.

"When I see them go in, it just gets me going," Morris said. "It felt really good since I'd been struggling a bit the past few games."
