Richmond (11-9) became the first team to beat Charlotte at home, defeating the 49ers 64-58 in Atlantic 10 play. Coach Chris Mooney has taken a unique approach to scouting the opposition this season.

One of the first things Sydney Johnson did before Princeton's Friday night Ivy opener was to write three words on the chalkboard in the Tigers' locker room - just play ball.
Throughout Princeton's 12 game losing streak, the Tigers often overcomplicated matters when holding a lead. A composed Princeton team kept Dartmouth at bay in the last eight minutes of a 57-53 victory over the Big Green. The Tigers simplified the game to its most basic principles down the stretch. Make plays on offense. Stop the other team on defense.
Princeton head coach Sydney Johnson and princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon sat down at Jadwin Gym to discuss Princeton's first Ivy weekend of the season and to discuss the Tigers' return to the hardwood following their annual exam break. This interview is 12:00+ in length.
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.
