The Daily Princetonian and the Princeton Packet now have stories on the Tigers' win over Marist.

Denver (7-9) came dangerously close to blowing their 18 point second half lead at Western Kentucky, but held on for a 62-59 decision. It was Joe Scott's fourth conference road win as coach of the Pioneers.

Illinois obliterated Northwestern (9-4) in a game that was barely as close as the 88-63 final. The Illini shot 18-22 from the field in the first half.

Oregon State (7-7) fell 84-70 at Washington State.

Princeton recruit Denton Koon and Liberty lost to Grandview in the finals of the Bank Midwest Holiday Basketball Classic.

More on future Tiger Bobby Garbade and Seton CC from the Press & Sun Bulletin.

Clay Wilson had 27 as Lincoln Christian took care of Dewey at the Oologah Basketball Tournament.

UNC head coach Roy Williams was in New Egypt yesterday to watch Desmond Hubert play.

Yesterday's piece by Andy Katz on Harvard and the state of the Ivy League is worth a read.

Let's be blunt about why Illinois had a great shooting game; Northwestern's D was putrid. I don't know who they sent down from Evanston, but it wasn't a basketball team. Carmody must be enraged.

Gregg,

Unfortunately, the Wildcats have been pretty bad defensively the last two seasons. In 2009-10, some stellar offensive numbers helped mask that fact.

Northwestern's margin for error entering Sunday's game has gone from thin to razor wire.

The Story

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.
