A court is stormed.
While I wait for my dad to finish editing tonight's photos, here's the first of what I'm sure will be several videos from the Jadwin stands of the final seconds. Enjoy.

Video: Hummer reaches 1,000 points.
Ian Hummer's runner is goaltended by Yale's Greg Mangano, giving the Princeton junior points 1,000 and 1,001 of his career.
Hummer is the 29th player in school history to reach the thousand point club.
Two plays from last night.
Trying to capture Ian Hummer scoring his 1,000th point at Brown, I got these two plays instead: Denton Koon driving with his left and Douglas Davis rewarding Brendan Connolly running the floor for a dunk.

New Recruit - Steven Cook.

Steven Cook’s mind was made up, so there was no reason to wait.
Cook, a guard at New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois, made the fairly unprecedented decision to verbally commit to Princeton prior to arriving at the midway point of January of his junior year – a full 20 months before he would be enrolling in college.
According to Trevians head coach Scott Fricke, this conclusion may have appeared surprising but it was an easy one to reach.
"Steven's number one choice was to go to Princeton,” Fricke said. He visited a lot of schools over the summer and he played in a lot of camps. He had a lot of people interested in him and Princeton got a hold of him early. [The staff] came out to several open gyms. They really liked the way Steven played and the way that specifically he would play for the ‘Princeton Offense’ style. They thought he was a perfect fit.”
After almost two weeks of phone tag, Fricke and I finally talked about Cook this morning. Exclusive quotes and analysis plus links to player evaluations and videos about the first member of Mitch Henderson’s 2013 recruiting class can all be found after the jump.
If you want to read about the three committed members of the Tigers’ 2012 class, full profiles can be found here.
John Thompson III in action (among other plays).
There's plenty of video evidence of John Thompson III coaching basketball, but hardly any out there of Thompson playing basketball.
A pair of recent uploads to YouTube show JTIII scoring and getting fouled, part of a quartet of layups I'm posting today. Above's clip is from Princeton's 62-49 win over Lafayette in January of 1986.
Also on the floor: Alan Williams (#24), Joe Scott (#4) and Bob Scrabis (#34).
Three more clips after the jump. I believe they're all from the same game.
This only got uploaded today?
Another angle, and a great angle at that, of the conclusion to last year's Ivy League playoff. Not a bad way to start your morning.
Random TCNJ moments.
Someone in the stands at Jadwin filmed several unrelated portions of the Tigers' victory over The College Of New Jersey (and kept a running commentary while doing so). Above, the game's early moments.
Three more videos after the jump.
