Princeton's third game in Spain was a 94-72 loss to Lucentum Alicante. You can see a full box score here. The Tigers were outscored in all four quarters.
Four players found double figures for the orange and black, including Will Barrett with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
The hosts shot 56.5% from the floor and knocked down 13 three pointers. Lucentum Blogging gathered some more information about the game, which I've translated.
Tomorrow Princeton plays its final contest overseas versus Club Melilla Baloncesto of LEB Oro.
Wisconsin forward Luke Worthington opted for BYU over fellow finalists Davidson, Princeton and Penn.
Inside Northwestern has an excellent interview with Bill Carmody.
Craig Robinson made an appearance on stage at the Democratic National Convention last night.
A familiar name has been added to the Oregon State roster.
Princeton basketball announcer John Sadak also calls games for the Wilmington Blue Rocks and was named 2012 Carolina League Broadcaster.
Brown and Harvard have released their schedules with the latter revealing (not to any great surprise) that the Crimson's visit to Jadwin will be broadcast on ESPNU.
While Princeton is in Spain, the biggest news relevant to the future of the Tigers happened here in New Jersey. Northstar Basketball is reporting that 6'4"+ New Jersey guard/forward Spencer Weisz has committed to Mitch Henderson's program "over Penn, Fairfield and Fordham, amongst others."
Weisz, who joins Pete Miller and Steven Cook in the 2013 recruiting class, averaged 12.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game for the 26-3 Pirates as a junior.
While I reach out to Weisz's coach at Seton Hall Prep, enjoy videos of the newest Tiger recruit after the jump.
To bide time during the offseason, ESPN devised an objective formula from which they're counting down the top 50 college basketball programs of the past 50 years. In a "now neither school's fans can argue which team is better" twist, Princeton and Penn tied for 22nd place.
Paralyzed former Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand visited the Tigers yesterday during one of the team's first practices before their trip to Spain. In this picture you can see LeGrand, the Princeton coaching staff and what I believe are the 12 players who will be making the overseas trip.
Want some names to keep tabs on as possible Princeton recruits? These lists from ESPN and Scout show prospects with varying levels of interest in the Tigers.
Now batting second in the Padres' lineup, Will Venable is 10-16 at the plate in his last four games.
By now you've likely heard that the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to bring in Eddie Jordan as an assistant at Kobe Bryant's behest and start running some variation of the "Princeton Offense." If you want to watch the equally unbearable Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith argue this decision for seven minutes, there's video here.
ESPN Boston has more on Pete Miller's commitment to the Tigers.
John Carroll, the head coach of prep powerhouse and reigning NEPSAC champion Northfield Mount Hermon, has seen a lot of Ivy League recruits suit up for his Hoggers. The school has sent 16 different players to Ivy programs in the last five years alone.
Carroll thinks there’s a chance that Pete Miller could be the best of them all.
Yesterday morning the versatile, skilled 6'10" senior-to-be added his name to this impressive list of Northfield alums when he called Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson and informed him that he wanted to become a Tiger next season.
Last night I spoke with Carroll as well as Miller's AAU coach Michael Crotty, Jr. of Middlesex Magic. Their exclusive quotes and analysis plus links to player evaluations, photos and videos of Miller can all be found after the jump.
12 alumni of prep powerhouse Northfield Mount Hermon will suit up for Ivy League teams in 2012-13, but Princeton does not currently have a NMH grad on their roster.
This will change next season as 6'10" Pete Miller has committed to join Steven Cook in Mitch Henderson's 2013 recruiting class.
Miller hails from Winchester, MA and plays his AAU ball for Middlesex Magic.
Since this original post went live I've talked to both Miller's AAU coach and his head coach for a full profile of the latest Tiger that should (hopefully) be finished tomorrow.
As we hit the All-Star break, San Diego's Will Venable is slumping, hitting .091 in his last 10 games and down to .248 for the season. Venable has six home runs, 16 doubles and 21 RBIs as baseball pauses midway through the campaign.
Since returning from injury in June, Chris Young has started six games for the Mets. His 2-2 record disguises a 3.41 ERA. Young has pitched at least five innings in each of his starts.
After throwing six shutout innings against Philadelphia the last time out, Young was touched up for three runs in the seventh as the Phillies rallied past New York. Batters are hitting far better versus Young the third time through the lineup.
Pete Carril is part of the first class that will be inducted into the Reading High Athletic Hall of Fame.
Those in the DC area can watch Ian Hummer play at the Kenner League for Hoop Magic.
Several current and former Princeton players will suit up at the DelCo Pro-Am. Games kick off this Sunday.
Like the Tigers, Richmond also will be heading overseas in August.
He never played in college due to injury, but being hobbled actually set in motion the start of a relationship for Brian Elbogen, who got married last weekend. Aw.
Did you hear a former Harvard center is using the NCAA's graduate school eligibility option to play a final season at Boston College?
princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world.
