One of the first things Sydney Johnson did before Princeton's Friday night Ivy opener was to write three words on the chalkboard in the Tigers' locker room - just play ball.
Throughout Princeton's 12 game losing streak, the Tigers often overcomplicated matters when holding a lead. A composed Princeton team kept Dartmouth at bay in the last eight minutes of a 57-53 victory over the Big Green. The Tigers simplified the game to its most basic principles down the stretch. Make plays on offense. Stop the other team on defense.

Ted Detmer scored a team-best 15 points off the bench to lead Lafayette. Bilal Abdullah had 14, including a perfect 4-4 touch behind the three point line.

Nick Lake and Kareem Maddox both recorded a team-best eight points for the Tigers.

When head coach Barry Rohrssen was a teenager, siding up to the pool table at Andy's Tavern on the weekends to listen to Princeton coach Pete Carril dissect basketball games over a few beers, he wouldn't have believed that he would grow up to lead Manhattan to their first win at Jadwin Gym in school history.
The visiting Jaspers turned around a 13 point deficit with under 12 minutes left in regulation, defeating Princeton 71-65. The loss was the Tigers' eighth straight of the season.
Coach Rohrssen was caught by surprise after the game upon learning that Manhattan had not won in any of their previous 12 visits to Princeton.

It is highly unlikely that any of the 6,188 in attendance at the Bryce Jordan Center on Wednesday night expected Lincoln Gunn's soft three point shot from the top of the arc midway through the first half to be Princeton's only points in the next ten minutes of play.
Gunn had just tied the score 9-9 at the 10:35 mark off an assist from Kyle Koncz on Princeton's first three of the game, following six consecutive open misses on the perimeter.
Penn State managed only 14 points during this drought, but it was enough to open up a defensive struggle that concluded with the Nittany Lions on top 61-38.

"Right now, we just need 40 minutes of good basketball and we're getting 29 or 33 or 36." said Princeton head coach Sydney Johnson after his Tigers dropped a 65-55 decision to Seton Hall on Wednesday night. "Somewhere around the corner, it is coming. Hard work pays off."
It was a short stretch right before halftime that did in the Tigers at Jadwin Gym.
