Coach Joe Scott - 2/22/07.
With the Tigers preparing for a long bus ride up to Hanover, Princeton head coach Joe Scott and princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon sat down at Jadwin Gym to review Princeton's split of the Cornell/Columbia weekend, and to look ahead to the final road trip of the year at Dartmouth and Harvard.
Some of the topics discussed include:
-The Tigers’ poor start against Cornell and the difference Kyle Koncz made once he was on the floor.
-In games where the margin between win and loss is so thin, how the coaching staff instills the mentality that Princeton has to be perfect in what they do without having players focus too much on making mistakes.
-The solid team victory over Columbia on Saturday night.
-Kyle Koncz’s health and the fact he was able to play 23 minutes against the Lions.
-The lineup Princeton used in the last 12:51 of the second half and if this is a squad we can expect to see on the floor together more in the final five games of the season.
-Princeton’s free throw struggles in their last four games.
-If new starter Kevin Steuerer has begun to believe in himself and his game more than he did when he played last season.
-The final road trip of the season versus Dartmouth and Harvard. Are the Tigers still tinkering with what they’re doing this late in the season?

Mascot Night 2007.
Joining the Princeton Tiger, visiting Columbia Lion mascot Roaree, Boomer of Trenton Thunder fame, arena football pusher Soulman, the Somerset Patriots' own Sparky and the mysterious Racoon Sports Racoon for Mascot Night 2007 was the above individual.
People had a lot of questions for me last night, but the most popular was easily "what is that big gold thing walking around Jadwin?"
Now you know. He represents a nationally famous trophy and award company.
The Tiger's team won the Mascot Game 2-0, as all the mascots teamed up to shut out Roaree.
Camden Riversharks supermascot Finley was announced over the p.a. as playing in this halftime game but did not show.

Coach Joe Scott - 2/15/07.
Princeton head coach Joe Scott and princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon met up at Jadwin Gym to discuss Princeton's three most recent games versus Harvard, Dartmouth and Penn, and to look ahead at this weekend's Ivy League tilts against Cornell and Columbia.
Some of the topics discussed include:
-The double overtime win versus Harvard and why everything operated faster offensively for the Tigers on Friday night.
-Noah Savage’s return to the starting lineup.
-If intangibles and toughness are greater priorities for Coach Scott than scoring is.
-Saturday’s game against Dartmouth and if fatigue affected the Tigers’ free throw shooting.
-Knowing in advance last Saturday that Kyle Koncz would not be available and if that changes the players’ mindset at all.
-The inability to stop Harvard and Dartmouth’s leading scorers and if there were adjustments that should have been made but weren’t.
-Princeton’s performance at Penn and the five missed chances the Tigers had to take the lead in the second half.
-How Coach Scott evaluates the performance of his freshmen at the Palestra.
-If Princeton prepares for Cornell and Columbia to try different things on offense and defense than they did the first time both teams met.
-If either Kyle Koncz or Edwin Buffmire be available this weekend.
