The annual ordeal of tedious data entry is complete and I'm happy to report that color coded 2012-13 electronic calendars for each of the "Carril Cradle" teams are available after the jump! You can download any or all of the following to sync with your computer/PDA.
Each basketball schedule will be updated whenever a tip time is adjusted or new TV information is unveiled. If past performance is any indication, I expect multiple revisions between now and November 9. These links will work best with iCal but are importable into Google Calendar.
If you notice any errors with games/dates/times/locations, please let me know.
The Chicago Tribune asks: Can Northwestern players make star turns off campus?
More detail has been revealed on the suspension of the Wildcats' JerShon Cobb.
Denver begins their sixth season with Joe Scott at the helm.
He was once Sydney Johnson's first recruit at Princeton and hasn't played a game since the 2010-11 season but hard luck Chris O'Brien is a senior at Cal Poly.
Did you know college basketball coaches can't use Instagram to recruit? #nofilter
The Boston Globe has more on plans for a new basketball arena at Harvard. I was surprised that the new gym's capacity would only be ~600 seats larger than Lavietes Pavilion.
Here's the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, John Thompson III gets down at Georgetown's Midnight Madness.
Hello and welcome to this week's "Throwback Thursday." After the jump you'll find 14 separate scans spanning 1979-1982, culled from seven different programs including player profiles and some vintage ads. Click on any image to enlarge, and feel free to share related memories in the comments or on our forum.
For the first year of the Ivy League's television deal with NBC Sports Network, the channel picked up a full compliment of potential games including three that feature Princeton:
The Ivy opener on Saturday, January 12 at home versus Penn (6:00 pm ET), when the Tigers host Columbia on Saturday, February 2 (6:00 pm ET) and the orange and black's visit to Harvard on Saturday, February 16 (7:00 pm ET).
It is already known that ESPNU will be broadcasting the second meeting between the Crimson and Princeton.
That's 4/14 of the Tigers' conference slate going out to a national audience.
In addition, I have noticed that Time Warner will air the Syracuse game but the range of that transmission is unknown.
princetonbasketball.com is happy to be able to offer discounted tickets to attend the Brooklyn Hoops Winter Festival on Saturday, December 15 at the Barclays Center.

Please use this link to save anywhere between $5-$15 on tickets. Make sure to use the offer code provided exclusively to site visitors.
It is unlikely you will make it all the way through this piece on the relationship between Richmond coach Chris Mooney and a former manager without getting teary-eyed.
While the visiting team played without star Dirk Nowitzi, it was the third straight victory for the top team in Spain over an NBA foe. Wallace did not see action in the first quarter but was a significant contributor the rest of the way with a team-high five assists including a pair of no look perimeter passes that set up three point shots for teammates.
The Princeton alum recorded a left wing three, a rebound follow tipping the ball away from the Mavs' Shawn Marion and a trio of free throws.
Elsewhere in Europe, Kareem Maddox is off to a "dream start" with Newcastle.
J. Richey Nash, who earned a varsity letter as a member of the Tigers in the 1986-87 season, is the writer, star and co-director of a new film titled "Hitting the Cycle" that is making its premiere this week.
La di da di. Georgetown's Midnight Madness will feature Doug E. Fresh.
A prospect from Nevada chose Harvard over Stanford, Princeton, Cal, UC Santa Barbara and Lehigh.
The Crimson have adjusted their roster for the upcoming season. Officially absent are Kyle Casey, Brandyn Curry and junior Matt Brown.

Before tipoff, why not read our assessment from when Mason Rocca suited up versus the New York Knicks.
The Princeton basketball team makes a very brief cameo at the 17:40 mark of Outside The Lines' piece on paralyzed Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand.
Jeremy Lin is reportedly in talks with Harvard on creating a co-licensed line of merchandise.
Finally, for those of you planning on traveling to Staten Island next month, I received the following email (which I have edited slightly for length and content):
My name is Whitney Jones and I am the Ticket Manager for Wagner Athletics. I just wanted to contact you and see if you would be able to inform your fans about purchasing tickets in advance for our game on November 28th. It is going to be a big game because we are also doing an earring giveaway to the first 300 fans as well. We have a limited number of reserved VIP seats that are located courtside that they can purchase ahead of time at $30.00 a seat. Our General Admission price for adults is $10 and for children is $6. I can be reached at 718-420-4039.
A direct link to buy tickets can be found here. See you at the Spiro Sports Center.
Here's the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, students polled by the Daily Princetonian seem to remember who Doug Davis is.
Six additional videos - primarily footage of recruit Spencer Weisz - follow after the jump.
It was getting downright embarrassing. For over a year I've had two overstuffed boxes of Bill Bradley-era magazines, cutout newspaper articles and handwritten notes staring at me from across my TV room. A site member personally delivered them all last summer and for whatever reason I couldn't bring myself to start digging into bounty so daunting.
It took Brian Earl posting a Princeton scouting report for the Tigers' Final Four team to goad me into action.
So, for this week's "Throwback Thursday" you'll find 15 different scans from the 1964-65 season taken from disparate sources. There's some pretty cool one-of-a-kind stuff alongside images and drawings you may never have seen before. Click on any image to enlarge, and feel free to share memories in the comments or on our forum.
Find of the week goes to Brian Earl for this scouting report his father gave him of Rutgers' attempts to prepare for Bill Bradley and the rest of the 1964-1965 Princeton Tigers. Of course, Bradley scored 35 points in this game and the orange and black led by 27 at halftime. So much for scouting reports!
The Padres' season concluded last night with a 7-6 win at Milwaukee. For the year Will Venable hit .264 in 148 games (equalling his career high) with 26 doubles, eight triples, nine home runs and 24 stolen bases. His strikeout/game ratio also dropped for the third straight season.

This is an interesting piece on recruitment battles between Georgetown and Maryland.
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.
