To wrap up the season statistically, the Tiger athletic department was nice enough to send along this year's complete plus/minus numbers. I've generated my own Ivy-only and DI-only plus/minus data in Excel out of that document.
The first of five charts shows the number of minutes played across the 32 games this season and the difference in points scored by Princeton while each player was on the floor versus points allowed by the Tigers during the same span.
The second chart shows the same information for non-conference games only, followed by non-conference versus DI opponents, Ivy-only data and postseason-only data.
I've also broken down +/- per 40 minutes for all pertinent players and added Net/40 numbers ("Roland Rate") with inspiration from Hoya Prospectus. This data has been split into non-conference, Ivy-only and postseason-only as well.
