Are you going to be in Manchester, New Hampshire on Saturday afternoon? If so, you can see Princeton recruits Max Huc and Patrick Saunders in action as Brewster Academy plays New Hampton in the Chris Polak Classic.
Around the Ivy League: Harvard (4-7) fell to the LIU Blackbirds 88-77.
It is highly unlikely that any of the 6,188 in attendance at the Bryce Jordan Center on Wednesday night expected Lincoln Gunn's soft three point shot from the top of the arc midway through the first half to be Princeton's only points in the next ten minutes of play.
Gunn had just tied the score 9-9 at the 10:35 mark off an assist from Kyle Koncz on Princeton's first three of the game, following six consecutive open misses on the perimeter.
Penn State managed only 14 points during this drought, but it was enough to open up a defensive struggle that concluded with the Nittany Lions on top 61-38.

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.
