Even though the assist percentage wasn't especially high for the Tigers, it still looked like classic Princeton offense because of all the backcuts by Koon. From the Beacon Journal:

"Zips forward Nick Harney called the Tigers very disciplined, saying they waited for UA to make mistakes so that they could take advantage of them as well as in the offensive game.

“Personally, I got back cut about three times,” Harney said. “It’s tough. They’re smart, a very smart, very crafty team. That’s why they’re so tough to beat because you can’t guard that.”

Dambrot said the team spent a lot of time working on defending that scenario. Ultimately he was satisfied with the outcome."
