1986 Princeton basketball video.

Filed under Basketball, Bob Scrabis, Princeton, Video

The same individual who posted 15 different Princeton basketball clips from the 1980s last year has just uploaded one more.

As best I can tell this play comes from an 89-70 loss at Seton Hall in the second contest of the 1986-87 season. John Thompson III (#22) starts with the ball and passes to who I believe is Dave Orlandini (#21). Thompson drops to the right corner and lobs a pass for Alan Williams (#24).

I am unsure about the identities of the other two players on far side of the floor. One is wearing a single digit so it could certainly be that season's captain, Joe Scott (#4). The other is quite possibly Bob Scrabis (#34). Any guesses?
