princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon and men's basketball coach Joe Scott sat down just after Christmas to talk about the Princeton victory over Marshall and the Tigers' narrow defeat against South Carolina. The two also previewed Princeton's last game of 2006, a road game versus the Iona Gaels.
Some of the topics discussed include:
-The keys to Princeton's decisive victory over Marshall.
-Scripting the first few offensive possessions against the Thundering Herd and if this is something Princeton does for every game.
-The importance of each Princeton player making their first shot.
-The return of Justin Conway to the starting lineup and how that helped the overall offensive flow.
-The end of the first half against South Carolina and the similarities between this stretch and last season's game at Wake Forest.
-Individual drives by guards in the South Carolina, Marshall and Rutgers games and if this is something other teams may try to exploit as the season goes on.
-The difficulty of playing a winless Iona team this late in the year.
-The way this season's schedule came together and if it is good to have breaks between games and the holidays.
-How the coaches relate their overall Princeton experiences with the experiences of the current team.
