LIU vs. Northwestern - 8:00 pm ET - bigtennetwork.com

In addition to our recap, read about Princeton's wild double overtime win on goprincetontigers.com, on TulsaWorld, on the KRMG web site, in the Daily Princetonian, courtesy of the Associated Press and on tulsahurricane.com.

TulsaWorld also has sidebars on the injuries sustained by Golden Hurricane players and the one-two punch of Kareem Maddox and Ian Hummer.

Georgetown (9-1) spent two days working on defense, then blitzed Appalachian State in the second half of a 89-60 win.

It was finally a blowout win for Oregon State (4-4), defeating UT-Pan American by 20.

Northwestern returns from a 13 day layoff versus LIU.

Don't look now but the Ivy League conference RPI is up to #10 out of 31 leagues and the Tigers are up to #67. http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_conf_Men.html

I've never been a fan of the RPI but the talking heads of college basketball seem to genuflect to it as if to the altar.

Jon, is this merely due to the league's better win/loss so far this season or is the league also scheduling tougher opponents?

Jim,

The bottom half of the league is much stronger than it was, say, a season ago. Three teams are in the Top 100 of RPI, five teams in the Top 150, six in the Top 200, none sub-232 (Dartmouth).

The Ivy League has won more non-conference games than usual and has a winning non-conference record.

For comparison, Pomeroy has the Ivy League at 16th so far, up from 22nd a season ago.

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.
