Postgame audio - Brendan Connolly & Kareem Maddox:
Electronic statistics for men's college basketball go back as far as the 1996-97 season. Before then, stats are all blurry photocopies and hand-transcribed scrawl.
This is noteworthy, because since electronic stats have become the standard, Princeton has not attempted as few three point shots as they did on Friday night at Wagner.
The Tigers only needed to shoot five times from behind the arc because they were able to take control on Staten Island by scoring 36 points in the paint and 16 more at the free throw line.
Princeton used a 19-5 first half run to break open a 16-16 ballgame and kept Wagner at bay for a 69-57 win, the Tigers’ sixth straight.
