It was a tough conference road loss for Denver (17-8) at Florida Atlantic (10-14) tonight. The Pioneers came from 15 down at halftime, shooting 81% from the floor in the back frame (17 for 21), but let a four point lead get away in the final 14 seconds.
Shavar Richardson made two free throws with :01.1 left to give the Owls the victory.
DU was done in by 7-16 free throw shooting.
Stephen Goldsmith was on hand in Boca Raton and his photos follow the jump.
With a steady stream of Princeton players trickling in to Jadwin Gym in advance of a late afternoon practice, Tigers head coach Mitch Henderson and princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon met courtside to tape this week's interview.
Henderson and Solomon reviewed Princeton's weekend split at Brown and Yale in great detail and previewed this weekend's return home against Dartmouth and Harvard. Along the way the pair conversed about why opponents are frequently trying to ball screen Princeton in league play and if being 2-3 in conference changes this season's goals.
This exclusive Q&A is 14:00+ in length.

After more than two consecutive months between home games versus Division I opponents, Princeton finally returns to Jadwin Gym to play contests of consequence. The first of these match-ups is with a young Dartmouth team full of players few reading have seen play in person previously.
To get answers about the quite green Big Green for today's Know! Your! Foe!, the only person to ask was writer Bruce Wood, founder of Big Green Alert, who has been covering Dartmouth athletics for as long as I can remember (and then a bit before that).
Our conversation follows after the jump. Look for a Harvard edition of K!Y!F! come Friday morning.
If you cover a team the Tigers will face down the line, let us know. We'd love to talk with you.

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.
