Duquesne vs. Richmond - 7:00 pm ET

Princeton coach Sydney Johnson is interviewed by The Quad, the New York Times' college basketball blog.

Pete Carril wasn't at the ceremony last night to induct he and Gary Walters into the Berks Basketball Hall of Fame, but his presence was still felt.

The remarkably wonky Trenton Times web site finally spit out the article on Saturday night's Columbia/Princeton game.

In a surprise to no one, Will Venable and Chris Young are both on the San Diego Padres' spring training roster. Young reports to Arizona on Friday, Venable on Monday.

Mercer (12-12) fell by three at home to Burlington.

Losers of four straight in conference play, Richmond hosts Duquesne.

The NYT interview mentions 8 Ivy alumni coaching Division I, of whom 5 went to Princeton.

* Is he mistakenly counting Carmody? There are Coaches Johnson, Scott, Mooney and Robinson...who is the fifth?

* The only Ivy alumni I can think of are McCaffery at Siena and Jeff Jackson at Furman. Who else is out there that I'm missing?

The five Princeton alums are Johnson, Mooney, Scott, Robinson and Thompson.

Head coach of your Hartford Hawks...

Dan Liebovitz - Penn '96.

I don't know how one forgets Coach Thompson. Temporary insanity?

I would never have gotten Liebovitz.

It is a good thing that a princetonbasketball.com member and I put together an Excel file of all D-I coaches' alma maters earlier this season! Did not expect it to pay off so soon. - JS

I would think that around the country at programs that are doing poorly, Sydney Johnson is already on the list of desirable coaches.

And rightfully so. His impact on the program has been unbelievable. And the guys on the team seem to love playing for him.

As I wrote earlier, is it too early to start a "Keep Sydney Johnson in Princeton" program?

The Story

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.
