Ever wondered why there's a bright orange number that occassionally changes underneath "The Streak" on the right sidebar of this site? Well...
Friday night's game between Dartmouth and Princeton will mark the 100th consecutive Ivy League contest I'll have covered in person for princetonbasketball.com. There's no other individual - on the sidelines, at press row or in the stands - that can make this claim. Being a consistent, reliable beat reporter through both good times and bad times for the Tigers over the past eight seasons is something I'm very proud of and I could not have accomplished this feat without your support.
For those of you keeping score at home, Princeton has gone 63-36 in conference play during this stretch, with three postseason appearances.
See you at Jadwin!
