Princeton has announced a few tweaks to the 2009-10 schedule. Two date changes and several minor start times. Those adjustments have been made to the site's schedule page.
Rivals is counting down all 347 Division I programs. Princeton places close to the middle at #156.
Tiger assistant Scott Greenman is pictured in Northfield Mount Hermon's photo gallery of college coaches that have recently visited the school.
Jeff Goodman had a post about Richmond on his Fox Sports blog.
Finally, congratulations to former Tiger Matt Sargeant, who we hear was named "the voice" of Buzztime's Sports Network. If you find yourself in one of the 4,000+ bars that have a Buzztime machine, check out Matt's commentary.
Northwestern will play 20 home games at Welsh-Ryan Arena this season. The Wildcats' full schedule was announced yesterday.
Will Venable may have been 0-4 at the plate in San Diego's extra inning loss to Arizona last night, but on Sunday Venable had two hits, including his eleventh home run of the season (video) as the Padres beat the Rockies 7-3.
Two recaps of the talk Bill Bradley and Ken Dryden participated in called Lives on the Run: Sports, Service and Leadership - one in the Cornell Daily Sun and the other in the Ithaca Journal.
A local guard who had Princeton on his short list of suitors has opted to play at Drexel.
Will Venable hit his 10th home run of the season (video), a solo shot to center in the top of the seventh inning, as San Diego came back to beat San Francisco, 4-3.
Lafayette announced their 2009-10 basketball schedule. In addition to a game at Princeton, the Leopards will visit Georgetown on November 28th.
Richmond has released the dates for their Atlantic 10 slate, completing their schedule for the upcoming season.
Chris Young may be out for the season, but his presence still looms large outside Petco Park in the form of this enormous billboard. Thanks to the reader who sent this snapshot from San Diego along!
Got plans on Friday? Going to the California State Fair? You can meet Sacramento Kings GM Geoff Petrie at the County Exhibits Building from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm.
A California center who played for Scott Greenman at the 2009 Maccabiah Games has decided to play collegiately for Yale.
San Diego swept a three game series against Washington with a 7-0 victory yesterday afternoon. Will Venable was 2-4 on the day and drove in the game's final run.
Related to the link I shared on Friday about St. John's retaining someone to use Twitter during basketball games comes this piece on colleges hiring official "Sportswriters".
One name to add and one name to remove from your recruiting radar - A 6'7" North Carolina forward says Princeton is one of the schools that have made him an offer, while a 6'9" post player from Arizona who had previously listed the Tigers among his suitors verbally committed to Weber State.
Finally, there was a post on TigerBlog on Monday called "Jon Solomon, Media Member?" that I'd be curious to hear your opinions on. While, as I said in that site's comments, I'm not sure how comfortable I am with my name being the focal point for this discussion - I think both this post and the Washington Post article I shared here that inspired it raise some interesting, important issues. I had only hoped that by this point I would have earned a period in the subject line, not a question mark.
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.
