The Daily Princetonian writes about how the Tigers faired versus Jeremy Lin, which complements this piece from the site nicely.

There's an Internet-only ESPNU postgame package entitled "Harvard Fails Princeton Exam" you can view here.

The Daily Princetonian reports on last weekend's games and comes out in defense of Saturday's court storming.

Georgetown (19-5) never trailed against St. John's, but was unable to take their lead to double digits until the final three seconds. Hoya Hoops provides postgame audio from a 71-61 final and Hoya Prospectus runs the numbers.

It was a very impressive fifth straight win for Fairfield (15-10), who went to league leader Loyola (Md.) and returned north with a 17 point triumph.

Every time Northwestern (15-9) took the lead in the second half, it seemed like Purdue answered with a three pointer. The Boilermakers hit back to back treys with six minutes left to break the game's eighth tie and defeated the Wildcats 87-77.

Oregon State (15-10) fell 75-72 to Washington.

There is another archival treat coming later this afternoon for you all.
