In the spirit of "Education Through Athletics" there was a teachable moment at the end of the Towson game. With only 17 seconds left, and the Princeton lead then at 14, Towson came down the court and threw up a three point shot.

A Princeton player who shall remain nameless then fouled the shooter, who not only made the trifecta, but also sank his free throw, thus cutting the margin to ten points. [Suspect he heard about it from the coaches and his teammates!]

Had this game been any closer, it might have been a horrible mistake on the part of the defender. Happily we still had a cushion, so only a few bettors were hurt by this error.

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.
