Talk about this afternoon's matchup with Fordham before/during/after the action in the forum, perhaps?
It sounds like Chris Gaston will be available for the Rams.
Princeton recruit Amir Bell scored 18 points as East Brunswick beat the state's top-ranked team.
Lousy news for Northwestern as Drew Crawford will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. The silver lining is that Crawford is one game under the cutoff for a medical hardship waiver and should hopefully return for 2013-14.
Action picks back up today as Georgetown hosts Western Carolina, Richmond welcomes Stetson and Nebraska-Omaha visits Denver.
Mercer (7-3) won their weather-delayed contest with Raritan, 79-68. Mustafa El-Amin had 22 for the Vikings while Filip Sekulic added 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Clay Wilson fields questions from the Daily Princeton, who also preview tomorrow's game.
Future Tiger Steven Cook recorded a double-double in New Trier's victory over Waukegan. Some excellent photos in this article too.
Fellow 2013 recruit Spencer Weisz made MSG Varsity's list of the top high school basketball players to watch in the state of New Jersey.
John Thompson III has some quotes about the possible dissolution of the Big East.
In what sounds like a very exciting game, Mercer County Community College (4-2) got past Morris 57-56. Mustafa el Amin tied the score on a three pointer with four seconds left and Barry Brockington, who was 11-14 from the line, won it for the Vikings with a free throw that came with :0.6 remaining.
Richmond (7-2) served ODU their worst-ever defeat at the Constant Center, 80-53.
Then there's Northwestern (7-2), who recorded a much-needed and very impressive 74-70 win at Baylor. It was 56-38 Wildcats with 10:25 remaining but intense pressure by the Bears and a stretch where Bill Carmody's team went 1-8 at the line closed that deficit to two. After all that - and I haven't even mentioned the twelve second sequence wherein NU committed three turnovers - Drew Crawford sealed the result with a pair of free throws as just over a second remained.
Two scores of note out of last night - Bucknell 76 Kent State 60 and Tennessee State 76 Drexel 66.
Here's the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, Bart Kalkstein and Michael Goldberg return to broadcasting after a two decade break.
It is behind a paywall but there's an interview with Tiger recruit Steven Cook here. Cook scored 16 in New Trier's loss to Warren.
How about a second Mid-Majority write-up of Princeton's win at Lafayette?
Just 10-20 at the free throw line, Northwestern (6-2) was surprised 50-44 by UIC as the Flames scored the game's final six points.
Richmond (6-2) won their third straight over Wake Forest.
Eight games away from home to start the season concluded for Fairfield (4-4) with a 74-55 victory at Austin Peay.
Mercer (3-2) was topped by Del Tech Stanton, 53-46.
Sunday's only game of note sees Denver visiting Stanford.
Around the Ivy League: Brown (3-4) fell 63-50 at New Hampshire. It was Harvard (3-3) by nine over Fordham. Dartmouth (2-3) rallied past Longwood, 61-53. Penn State knocked off Penn (2-6) by a 58-47 final. Cornell (4-5) bested Colgate in 70-63 Ithaca. Mike Muscala had 29 points and 19 rebounds as Bucknell got past Columbia (4-4) in the final five minutes.
Needless to say the Seahawks have been winning ugly.
A guard from western Pennsylvania will attend Princeton...as a quarterback.
Here's a letter to the editor about Pete Carril attending last Saturday's game in Easton.
That Georgetown/Florida game which was called at halftime? It will not be resumed after all.
Overtime was kinder to Richmond (5-2), who needed two extra frames to defeat William & Mary.
Around the Ivy League: Columbia (4-3) lost a cross-county matchup versus LIU, 70-61. Stony Brook trumped Cornell (3-5) by a 76-53 count in Ithaca. Penn (2-5) ended a five game losing streak at the expense of Binghamton.
It was October 31st when word first broke that 6'5" Serra High School senior Henry Caruso had verbally committed to Princeton, becoming the fifth member of Mitch Henderson's 2013 recruiting class.
Since then I've been stuck in an endless loop of phone tag with Caruso's high school coach Chuck Rapp. I was able to finally get Coach Rapp on the phone this afternoon and the conversation was well worth the wait. Rapp compared Caruso to another future Tiger he coached several years back who developed into an All-Ivy performer and shared a story about a key champion in Caruso's recruitment.
Quotes from our conversation plus links and videos featuring Caruso can all be found after the jump.
