Box Score

Postgame audio - Coach John Thompson III, Jason Clark & Chris Wright:

Watching Georgetown endeavor to catch Temple at the Liacouras Center on Thursday night, unable to pull in front of the Owls for the duration of the game, I was reminded of a moment shared with then-Princeton assistant Mike Brennan after the Tigers defeated Columbia 49-48 on the road to earn a share of the 2001-02 Ivy League title.

In that contest, Princeton trailed for the entire evening before a wheel play to Mike Bechtold set the Tiger guard up for a deep three point shot from the top of the key that placed Princeton in front for the first and final time with 33 to go.

Seeing a relieved Brennan after the game, I said "well, if you've only going to lead for 33 seconds, might as well make it the last 33 seconds."
