Box Score

Postgame audio - Coach Sydney Johnson & Douglas Davis:

The last seven times Princeton and Rutgers have faced off, the losing team has failed to exceed 50 points.

These seven games have been laggard, leaden affairs with both squads struggling to find the bottom of the basket.

Thursday night's game at the RAC added another torpid installment to a 116 game rivalry, one that both head coaches called "beautiful" afterwards.

But it was Rutgers’ Fred Hill who liked how the somnolent 54-44 decision played out more than Tigers head man Sydney Johnson.

Gregory Echenique had a career-high 21 points and 11 rebounds as he and and Hamady Ndiaye bullied Princeton inside, sending the Tigers to their fourth straight defeat.

Douglas Davis attacked the rim repeatedly and scored a season high 20 for Princeton, but no other Tiger tallied more than five.

"If you can grind it out, you can win one, and that's what Rutgers did," said Johnson - who fell to 0-3 coaching versus the Scarlet Knights.
