Somehow, it is over.
118 days.
16 states.
1,130 minutes of Princeton basketball
(just 45 of which Marcus Schroeder didn't play in).
1,410 points.
224 media time outs.
11 wins.
17 losses.
28 games.
28 postgame interviews.
28 recaps.
For as long as I can remember I've wanted to try and attend every single game in a Princeton season. To watch a year from the first weeks of practice to the final hugs in the lobby of Jadwin Gym as players and parents head out into the night one final time. In 2006-07, I was able to accomplish this goal.

interview audio - 37:46
In the last interview of the regular season, Princeton head coach Joe Scott and princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon met at Jadwin Gym to look back at Princeton's two road losses at Dartmouth and Harvard and to preview the three games in the Tigers' season-ending homestand.
Some of the topics discussed include:
-The start and finish of Friday’s loss at Dartmouth.
-The strategy of going inside repeatedly against the Big Green.
-Conversely, did Princeton possibly go inside too often?
-The wasted defensive effort against Harvard in the first half of Saturday’s loss.
-With all the missed layups and missed free throws in recent weeks, could the players be pressing too hard when they have a chance to win?
-The final three home games against Brown, Yale and Penn.
-An injury to a Princeton starter that could keep them out of the lineup this weekend.
-The contributions of Princeton’s three seniors: Justin Conway, Luke Owings and Edwin Buffmire.

interview audio - 22:39
With the Tigers preparing for a long bus ride up to Hanover, Princeton head coach Joe Scott and princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon sat down at Jadwin Gym to review Princeton's split of the Cornell/Columbia weekend, and to look ahead to the final road trip of the year at Dartmouth and Harvard.
Some of the topics discussed include:
-The Tigers’ poor start against Cornell and the difference Kyle Koncz made once he was on the floor.
-In games where the margin between win and loss is so thin, how the coaching staff instills the mentality that Princeton has to be perfect in what they do without having players focus too much on making mistakes.
-The solid team victory over Columbia on Saturday night.
-Kyle Koncz’s health and the fact he was able to play 23 minutes against the Lions.
-The lineup Princeton used in the last 12:51 of the second half and if this is a squad we can expect to see on the floor together more in the final five games of the season.
-Princeton’s free throw struggles in their last four games.
-If new starter Kevin Steuerer has begun to believe in himself and his game more than he did when he played last season.
-The final road trip of the season versus Dartmouth and Harvard. Are the Tigers still tinkering with what they’re doing this late in the season?

Joining the Princeton Tiger, visiting Columbia Lion mascot Roaree, Boomer of Trenton Thunder fame, arena football pusher Soulman, the Somerset Patriots' own Sparky and the mysterious Racoon Sports Racoon for Mascot Night 2007 was the above individual.
People had a lot of questions for me last night, but the most popular was easily "what is that big gold thing walking around Jadwin?"
Now you know. He represents a nationally famous trophy and award company.
The Tiger's team won the Mascot Game 2-0, as all the mascots teamed up to shut out Roaree.
Camden Riversharks supermascot Finley was announced over the p.a. as playing in this halftime game but did not show.
