I had been meaning to answer the following self-posited question for a while now:
"Like 2011-12, how many other Princeton seasons across the past 50 years have included 20+ overall wins, 10+ conference victories as well as a postseason triumph?"
Often two of these benchmarks are checked but getting all three has proven difficult.
A full list of trifectas follow after the jump. See if you can name them all before clicking through.
I'm well aware that the college basketball landscape has changed to where there are more overall games and more postseason opportunities but accomplishing a "20 x 10 + 1" still feels significant to me.
