Box Score

Postgame audio - Coach Sydney Johnson, Doug Davis, Dan Mavraides & Marcus Schroeder:

Princeton coach Sydney Johnson was blunt.

Losing is terrible.

Losing hurts.

Losing stinks.

His Tigers were tired of losing and on Saturday the team did what they had been unable to do in five straight tight contests across December. When the score got close and the clock got late, they made just enough plays to win, defeating UNC Greensboro 65-55.

Dan Mavraides scored a career-high 17 points, including a perfect 6-6 from the free throw line in the second half.

Doug Davis set the tone with 15 in the first twenty minutes as Princeton opened up early leads of 15-3 and 30-15.

Junior center Pawel Buczak grabbed 10 rebounds, a new personal best.

"I probably won't be able to wipe the smile off my face," said Johnson following Princeton's third win of the season.
