Kareem Maddox had 11 points and seven rebounds in Landstede Basketbal's overtime win against EiffelTowers Den Bosch. This article is some of Google Translate's finest work yet.
Play is underway in the PLK and Pawel Buczak has scored six points in his first two games with Śląsk Wrocław.
An Ivy League preview has been posted by CBS Sports.

Full team practices are underway at Jadwin Gym for the first time since March, which seems like an appropriate juncture to share many of the questions I've been collecting about the 2011-12 Princeton Tigers. Last year I approached this weekend on the calendar with a player-by-player wish list but I hope this alternative approach will encourage you to add your own questions (and answers) in the comments.
Here's the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, Chris Mooney answers questions at Richmond's media day.
Bill Carmody is not making any predictions for this season.
The Atlantic 10's preseason coaches/media poll is out. Richmond is picked fifth. The Spiders will ask Darien Brothers to play a different roll than he did last year.
Oregon State has launched a sharp-looking web site for their men's basketball team. The Beavers are shooting high in 2011-12.
In his first regular season game for Landstede Basketbal, Kareem Maddox scored five points in 19 minutes of play.
As the head coach at the Hill School the past 11 seasons - coaching in the Mid Atlantic Prep League against future Princeton players Douglas Davis and Noah Savage for a school located less than 90 minutes away from Jadwin Gym - Seth Eilberg has a decent understanding of what is required to be a standout Tiger.
In 2012 Eilberg will send the Blues' senior big man Hans Brase to Princeton and Eilberg feels the strong, physical 6'9" forward has what it takes to succeed in the Ivy League.
Brase joins Edo Lawrence and Mike Washington, Jr. in what is shaping up to be a quality initial recruiting class for Mitch Henderson.
Eilberg and I discussed Brase at length this afternoon. Exclusive quotes and analysis plus links to player evaluations and videos can be found after the jump.
The Pacific Northwest has developed into a basketball hotbed in recent years and Princeton has reached out to that region with the verbal commitment late last week of high-scoring, muscular guard Mike Washington, Jr.
The 6'3" and 190 pound Washington, who models his game after that of fellow Emerald City native Brandon Roy, plays at Oak Harbor High School just north of Seattle and is coached by his father Mike Washington, Sr.
This evening I caught up with Washington, Sr. to discuss his son's commitment to Mitch Henderson's first recruiting class. Exclusive quotes and analysis plus links to player evaluations and seven videos can be found after the jump.
Yesterday was a big day for Mitch Henderson and the Princeton basketball program with the verbal commitments of three different 2012 recruits, but no part of this unprecedented afternoon was bigger than nearly 7'2" center Edward Lawrence.
When he arrives on campus next year Lawrence, who everybody calls Edo (rhymes with "meadow") will be the tallest player to ever suit up for the Tigers.
This morning I spoke with Lawrence's prep school coach Don Gowan from Canterbury School in New Milford, CT. Lawrence has only been playing organized basketball for four years, two in the United States and two overseas, but already Gowan has witnessed some incredible development, especially this summer.
Gowan's exclusive quotes and analysis plus links to player evaluations, photos and videos of Lawrence can be found after the jump.
Profiles of the other two players joining Lawrence in Princeton's 2012 recruiting class will follow in the next few days. I'll add a 2012 Princeton Recruits page on the site after those go live.
Tickets are on sale now for the November 17th luncheon in New York City honoring Pete Carril, Jim Phelan and Debbie Ryan with the 2011 Lapchick Award. If you would like to attend follow this link.
Here's the story of how Dan Geriot was selected for the open assistant coach's position at Princeton.
Geriot's college coach Chris Mooney is remaking the Richmond Spiders again.
In ESPN's non-conference schedule analysis, Princeton shows up five times as an opponent in the "toughest" or "next-toughest" tier.
Why are the Tigers traveling to Drexel in December? Because Mitch Henderson and Bruiser Flint sat next to one another on a plane.
I'm a voter in the Big Apple Buckets NYC Area Power Poll this season. To answer the question before you ask it, I selected Princeton seventh out of the 23 eligible teams.
If you missed the late addition of a third member to Princeton's 2012 recruiting class, read the updated version of this story.
According to ESPN senior recruiting analyst Dave Telep, Mitch Henderson has received verbal commitments from his first two recruits as Princeton head coach.
Update: While I was out at a memorial service this afternoon/evening word broke that a third player has committed to Coach Henderson. Crazy, unprecidented day.
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.
