As for the Fairfield job, all I have learned is that this is more of a real consideration than I had expected.

What's third?
This question has come up several times over the last 10 days, and I don't have a great answer.
If Gabe Lewullis' 1996 NCAA Tournament layup versus defending champion UCLA is the biggest basket in the shot clock/three point shot/modern era of Princeton basketball (even though if Lewullis misses the game is almost certainly going to overtime) and Douglas Davis' jumper at the buzzer versus Harvard to win the 2011 Ivy League playoff is a close second, what's third?

Mueller had 14 baskets and four free throws. Maddox's line was 10 field goals, 10 free throws.
