Hot on the heels of last week's Columbia and Cornell updates in our Know! Your! Foe! series we're back with Q&As about this weekend's opponents.
After the jump you'll find wise words from Michael James of 14-Game Tournament and Bruce Wood from Big Green Alert.
Both do a superb job updating the play of opposition Princeton initially faced less than two weeks ago.
If you want to read their original takes on these teams, please check out these Harvard and Dartmouth K!Y!F! posts.
Additionally, if you cover a team the Tigers will face down the line, let us know. It would be great to talk with you.

For the first time in site history, we ran the table in the opening half of Ivy League play, publishing seven different Know! Your! Foe! interviews with seven different experts on each Princeton opponent.
What to do for the back end of the conference schedule? Well, repeat Q&As would be overkill so instead each subject has been asked back to provide a refresher on how the team they initially talked about has been playing since we last conversed.
After the jump you'll find insight from John Templon of Big Apple Buckets and Brian Delaney from 1160 ESPN in Ithaca.
Both do a great job updating the play of this weekend's foes.
If you want to read their original takes on these teams, please check out these Columbia and Cornell K!Y!F! posts from January.

Harvard may return everyone of import from the team Princeton beat at the buzzer in 2011's Ivy League playoff, but they're actually quite different in several respects. To discuss the Crimson in detail for the site's Know! Your! Foe! series, I hit up Michael James of the @ivybball Twitter account. James is also a Rush The Court contributor and once the brains behind The 14-Game Tournament.
My questions and his answers follow after the jump.

After more than two consecutive months between home games versus Division I opponents, Princeton finally returns to Jadwin Gym to play contests of consequence. The first of these match-ups is with a young Dartmouth team full of players few reading have seen play in person previously.
To get answers about the quite green Big Green for today's Know! Your! Foe!, the only person to ask was writer Bruce Wood, founder of Big Green Alert, who has been covering Dartmouth athletics for as long as I can remember (and then a bit before that).
Our conversation follows after the jump. Look for a Harvard edition of K!Y!F! come Friday morning.

Princeton heads on the road to Brown this Friday night and starts their return back down I-95 with a stop at Yale the subsequent evening, finally concluding a stretch of 12 consecutive DI road games that began in early December.
I've always found it unexpectedly difficult to locate people who follow the Bulldogs online, but for the site's first-ever Yale Know! Your! Foe! preview someone stepped up to my challenge.
Ian Halpern is one of the folks behind Ivy Hoops Online, a site covering all eight schools in the league which launched prior to this season. They're doing great work over there providing well-written previews and analysis, a much-needed addition to the Ivy basketball landscape.
I exchanged emails with Ian about Yale and our conversation comes after the jump.

A trip to Providence means exchanging Know! Your! Foe! messages with David “Bruno” Wise (pictured above), the number one lone Brown basketball fan I know. There isn't anyone else I'd want to be discussing Friday's game with and David provides great, detailed insight into the Bears, who are 7-14 this season, 1-3 in the Ivy League.
A Yale edition of K!Y!F! will run tomorrow on the site.

Princeton returns from their annual multi-week exam break tomorrow night at Penn and in turn so does this site's Know! Your! Foe! series. Eager to discuss the Quakers with someone who sees them play on a regular basis, I exchanged emails with Jonathan Tannenwald from philly.com (pictured above with a special friend).
Our third-annual conversation can be found after the jump.

On Saturday night Princeton wraps up their first weekend of Ivy play at Columbia. As part of our Know! Your! Foe! series please welcome John Templon from Big Apple Buckets to the princetonbasketball.com.
I was confused to discover I haven't actually had John stop by for a K!Y!F! previously, but I was a big fan of his Chicago College Basketball site and I'm greatly enjoying his well-considered coverage of teams in New York City and the surrounding environs. He's the right man to go to for insight on the Lions.
Our email exchange can be found after the jump.
If you haven't read the Cornell preview that was published here yesterday, please do so.

Next up on Princeton's seemingly endless road trip is the shortest distance they could travel to face another Division I opponent. The Tigers make their initial visit to the Broncs' Zoo on Wednesday. In advance of the first meeting between these two schools since 2002, I exchanged emails with college basketball writer Kyle Franko from the Trentonian for the newest edition of Know! Your! Foe!.

Princeton travels 22 miles north to the Rutgers Athletic Center on Wednesday night as they face off with the Scarlet Knights. To prep you on this meeting of in-state rivals, I exchanged emails with college basketball writer Brendan Prunty from the Star Ledger for the latest edition of Know! Your! Foe!.
Prunty is also the host of the recently launched Jersey Score podcast, which I'll be appearing on shortly.
