Princeton returns home looking for their first victory of the season at Jadwin Gym and Know! Your! Foe! is back with a preview of their opponent, the Rider Broncs.
Joining the site to answer my inquiries is Trentonian beat writer Kyle Franco, who almost certainly has seen more of the Broncs in person than you have.
My questions and his responses follow after the jump.
If you cover a team the Tigers will tackle down the line, let us know. I'd love to talk with you.
Princeton heads to Brooklyn on Saturday to face Fordham in the Brooklyn Hoops Winter Festival and Know! Your! Foe! is back with a preview of the Fordham Rams.
Joining the site this afternoon is John Templon from Big Apple Buckets, a fantastic, ever-expanding site covering teams from the five boroughs and beyond.
My questions and his responses follow after the jump. I'll be returning the favor with a few answers about Princeton on John's site shortly.
If you cover a team the Tigers will tackle down the line, let us know. I'd love to talk with you.
Princeton returns to Jadwin Gym tomorrow afternoon and Know! Your! Foe! returns one day prior to preview the Drexel Dragons.
Joining the site to answer my questions is a familiar name for regular readers, philly.com's Jonathan Tannenwald (commemorated via statue above). While Jonathan isn't on the basketball beat as much as he had been in years gone by, he's still a superb point person when you want details on any of Philadelphia's "City Six" teams.
My questions and JT's answers follow after the jump.
If you cover a team the Tigers will face down the line, let us know. I'd love to talk with you.
Let's get Know! Your! Foe! back on track with a preview of tomorrow evening's opponent - the Wagner Seahawks.
After starting 1-3 on the road, first year head coach Bashir Mason will finally get the chance to lead his team onto the floor at home. The Seahawks return four starters from a 25 win squad that shut down Princeton in last season's opener.
Wanting to learn more about this Tiger opponent, I talked with Staten Island Advance writer and Associated Press College Basketball Board member Cormac Gordon (still not pictured above) for the second straight season. A transcript of our conversation from earlier this morning can be found after the jump.
If you cover a team the Tigers will face down the line, let us know. I'd love to talk with you. I've reached out to a couple of Kent State people but am coming up dry.
There's one order of business before I leave for upstate New York - the latest installment of Know! Your! Foe!. Joining me to discuss the sixth-ranked Orangemen is Sean Keeley (hopefully not pictured above, but one never knows...) of comprehensive Syracuse site Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician.
Keeley is also the author of How To Grow An Orange.
My questions and his answers follow after the jump. I know this is a busy week for all of us, so I really appreciate the quick turnaround and the detailed nature of Keely's responses.
If you cover any of the teams that Princeton will be facing in 2012-13, get in touch! Would love to interview you.
Sportswriter and good dude Brendan Prunty is the only guy I'd want to handle questions about Rutgers for the next installment of Know! Your! Foe! and thankfully Hoboken's finest showed no hesitation in joining the site for a second straight year.
Our discussion previewing the Scarlet Knights follow after the jump. I'd also recommend reading the post Rutgers: Past, Present, Future and the recap of last year's meeting for additional context.

Princeton opens their home slate tomorrow night versus Northeastern and Zolan Kanno-Youngs from WRBB radio was kind enough to tackle our questions about the Huskies for the latest edition of Know! Your! Foe!.
We already have someone lined up to talk Rutgers basketball on Thursday but if you cover any of the other teams the Tigers will be facing in 2012-13, get in touch!
The season begins tomorrow and to preview Princeton's first opponent of 2012-13 I traded emails with Timothy Riordan of UB Bull Run for the debut Know! Your! Foe! preview of the campaign.
Tim was under the weather and had to keep his answers brief but I hope this exchange will give you a better sense of who and what the Tigers are up against come high noon Saturday. It will be interesting to see if Buffalo's final home football game of the season improves attendance (kickoff is at 3:30 pm ET) or keeps fans away from Alumni Arena.
If you cover a team the Tigers will face down the line, let us know. Especially if you follow Northeastern! Coming up dry trying to find someone willing to talk Huskies with me...
When the second round CBI pairings were confirmed, I sent out several emails that evening to potential Know! Your! Foe! interview subjects and the only person who got back to me was Chas Rich (potentially pictured above) of Pitt Blather.
I'm glad he did. Rich tackled my preview questions admirably in advance of Pittsburgh hosting Princeton on Monday night. Our conversation follows after the jump.
If you cover a team the Tigers will face down the line, let us know. It would be great to talk with you.
The word "hero" gets tossed around all too often in our culture, but what Bennet Hayes (not pictured above) of College Basketball Road Trip has done in providing site members information on the Evansville Purple Aces despite a ludicrously short turnaround is nothing less than heroic.
For the latest edition of our Know! Your! Foe! series, Hayes offers superb, specific detail on Princeton's first round CBI opponent. My questions and his answers follow after the jump, which compliment last night's quick primer nicely.
If you cover a team the Tigers will face down the line, let us know. It would be great to talk with you.
