One more article to mark the 20th anniversary of Princeton/Georgetown in the first round of the 1989 NCAA Tournament: Here's what Princeton Alumni Weekly had to say after the game.
Chris Young was scratched from his latest spring training start as a precaution for tendinitis.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Princeton/Georgetown game.
With that fact in mind, I finally went into my old bedroom at my parents' house and opened up one of the many boxes I've collected over the years labeled "Princeton basketball."
Near the top of the first box I took out of the closet was a copy of the March 21, 1989 Princeton Packet. I've scanned the box score off the cover of the sports section. Click to enlarge.
These boxes are a treasure trove of old magazine articles, newspapers, game programs and photographs that I hope to share over the summer.
In the meantime, you can buy a DVD of this classic NCAA tournament contest here.
Feel free to share your memories of that game in the comments.
Thank you for your interest in princetonbasketball.com this season.
With four members of the extended Princeton family - Richmond, Northwestern, Georgetown and Oregon State - all playing in postseason games on Wednesday, I've decided to do something new on the site:
The first-ever princetonbasketball.com live chat!
You'll be able to ask me questions, talk about the games as they happen and interact with each other starting at 6:30 pm ET through the final buzzer in Corvallis.
The chat will be moderated.
I'll be providing updates on all four games and I might have a prize or two to give away during this marathon.
From the Sports Illustrated vault, a 1996 piece by Alex Wolff about the retiring Pete Carril.
Speaking of Wolff, his Vermont Frost Heaves clinched a PBL wild-card playoff spot with a 120-94 win over the Buffalo Stampede.
Press releases about postseason appearances: Northwestern, Georgetown, Richmond and Oregon State. With all four schools playing on Wednesday night, there will most likely be an interactive live blog on the site that evening. Stay tuned.

Georgetown vs. St. John's - 2:00 pm ET - Big East Tournament - bigeast.tv
It appears the Trentonian is the only paper to preview tonight's game.
Douglas Davis made the Honor Roll of the final Ivy Weekly Basketball Awards of the season.
Richmond (17-14) upset #17 Xavier, 80-75. It was perhaps the best all-around effort by the Spiders in Chris Mooney's four years as head coach. Richmond clinched the number six seed in the Atlantic 10 Tournament.
Northwestern looks to reach .500 in Big Ten play with a win at Ohio State.
Denver and UALR meet in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament.
Princeton recruit Will Barrett and Central Bucks South shocked Roman in the first round of the PIAA Class AAAA playoffs. Barrett scored 14 in the upset win.
Mack Darrow had 15 points as Barrington lost to top-seeded Lake Forest.
Around the Ivy League: Harvard (14-14 / 6-8) won at Yale (13-15 / 8-6) for the first time in nine years, 69-59. Kevin Egee's deep three point shot at the buzzer gave Penn (10-17 / 6-7) the one point win over Columbia (12-16 / 7-7). Brown (9-19 / 3-11) defeated Dartmouth (9-19 / 7-7), 69-59.
Will Venable leads the Padres with a team-high 17 at bats in spring training.
Around the Ivy League: Cornell (20-9 / 10-3) won their second straight Ivy League title with a 83-59 victory over Penn (9-17 / 5-7). Garrett Leffelman hit a three point shot at the buzzer as Brown (8-19 / 2-11) beat Harvard (13-14 / 5-8) by two. Yale (13-14 / 8-5) moved into second place in the conference with their 74-62 decision over Dartmouth (9-18 / 7-6).
Postgame audio - Coach John Thompson III, Greg Monroe & Chris Wright:
A moribund St. John's team, who had gone over 13 minutes without a field goal to start the second half, had missed 14 straight shots and had fallen behind Georgetown by 14 points was somehow able to pull even with the Hoyas at the end of regulation and smash Georgetown's postseason chances in overtime.
It was the first overtime game in the 91 meetings between the two Big East rivals.
Two free throws by St. John's Rob Thomas with two seconds left sent the game to the extra frame.
Thomas' offensive rebound and two-handed dunk with one on the shot clock gave the Red Storm a three point lead with 15 seconds left in OT and DaJuan Summers' deep, open three point shot for Georgetown at the buzzer was long off the iron.
Greg Monroe scored a game-high 18 for the Hoyas, but chose to pass the ball on several occasions close to the rim where he should have been less selfish.
Thomas finished with a career-high 16 points and seven boards off the bench.
St. John's outrebounded Georgetown 46-25.
Starting forward Austin Freeman was unable to play the Hoyas. Freeman tried to go through warmups at Madison Square Garden despite an injured hip but could not get his body to respond.

Douglas Davis was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week for the third time this season. Dan Mavraides also had a spot on the Honor Roll of the latest Ivy Weekly Basketball Awards.
Another long, oddly edited, but ultimately rewarding video package by WZBN, with footage from the Carril Court halftime ceremony and the Dartmouth/Princeton game that bookended it.
Nikita Mescheriakov and Georgetown visit St. John's tonight. princetonbasketball.com will also be courtside covering the action.
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.
