One of the first things Sydney Johnson did before Princeton's Friday night Ivy opener was to write three words on the chalkboard in the Tigers' locker room - just play ball.
Throughout Princeton's 12 game losing streak, the Tigers often overcomplicated matters when holding a lead. A composed Princeton team kept Dartmouth at bay in the last eight minutes of a 57-53 victory over the Big Green. The Tigers simplified the game to its most basic principles down the stretch. Make plays on offense. Stop the other team on defense.
