I hope everyone reading today has recovered from Hurricane Irene. Parts of central New Jersey were hit pretty hard but I know there are regions in far worse shape than this one.
Oregon State is the latest member of the Carril Cradle to release their 2011-12 schedule.
Princeton has issued a press release about the Tigers' participation in the Legends Classic.
A team comprised of John Rogers, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Northwestern alums Jitim Young and Tim Doyle won the National Hoop It Up 3-on-3 tournament last weekend.
The 2011-12 Tiger schedule has to be close to completion. Today it was announced Princeton will visit Florida State on December 30th, 2011. Last season the Seminoles advanced to the Sweet 16.
It will be the first meeting between the two schools since the 1998 Rainbow Classic, a 50-46 Tiger triumph.
Like they did last season, Princeton will participate in a convoluted Gazelle Group preseason tournament. The Tigers are one of 12 teams in the 2011 TicketCity Legends Classic.
Princeton shall play three games in a subregional pool at Bucknell right after Thanksgiving - versus the host Bison on Friday, November 25th, Morehead State on the afternoon of the 26th and Division II West Alabama on the afternoon of the 27th.
The other subregional pool is hosted by Rhode Island and includes Hofstra, Cleveland State and Boston University.
By process of elimination, one can deduce that of the four Legends Classic preliminary round host schools - Texas, Oregon State, Vanderbilt and NC State - Princeton is almost certain to play at the Wolfpack barring unexpected reconfigurations. UT and Vandy have already released their schedules and Oregon State is not expected to be welcoming Princeton to Corvallis.
Update: NC State has announced their schedule and as expected they'll host Princeton on November 16th.
Regardless of how these host schools perform in their Legends Classic home games, they all advance to the tournament semifinals at the Meadowlands' Izod Center.
In addition to this news, the Tigers will travel to Northeastern on December 18th, somewhere they have not played previously. Last season Princeton beat the Huskies on a neutral court on the first night of the UCF Holiday Classic, 65-63.

Finally, I've set up unique coupon codes for any and all students (high school, college, graduate school, etc) that are interested in joining the princetonbasketball.com family.

As happens every September there will be a proper, full fundraising appeal explaining who we are, what we do and why your support is needed (you can read the 2010 appeal by clicking here) coming next month but I wanted to give those eager to get a jump on next season the opportunity to stay within the fold immediately and those who have missed out on a summer of copious unique content the chance to get caught up before the season is upon us.
Ps. If you want to direct interested parties who can't access specific posts on the site to this deal, I've cross-posted the same information at a public URL here. Thanks again!

When I previously interviewed Kyle Koncz last November, he was starting his third season of coaching and teaching at Lake Forest Academy outside of Chicago.
Koncz is now taking the next step, going from a prep school powerhouse to an assistant coach position at one of the top programs in Division III basketball, as he recently joined the staff at Williams College.
This morning I caught Koncz on the phone in transition from Illinois to the Berkshires. A transcript of our phone call can be found after the jump.
Additionally, because the site has been interview-heavy recently, I've added an Interviews category above you can use to peruse these many exclusive conversations.
There was a frightening melee in the fourth quarter of yesterday's exhibition between Georgetown and the Bayi Rockets. The Washington Post had a reporter on the scene describing what transpired.

princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world. This site is not directly affiliated with the Friends of Princeton Basketball, Princeton University or the Princeton athletic department.
