Princeton center Brendan Connolly talks about running the school's 15th Reunion.
The plan was originally for Chris Young to make two more starts for AAA Buffalo before returning to the major leagues, however Johan Santana requires extra rest following his no-hitter so Young will pitch for the Mets tomorrow night in Washington.
Racing out of the box on a ground ball, Will Venable strained his right oblique and had to leave yesterday's Padres game early.
Judson Wallace had nine points (including the game-sealing free throws) and nine rebounds as FC Barcelona advanced to the ACB finals versus Real Madrid. The best of five series begins on Wednesday.
Richmond coach Chris Mooney is speaking on Friday in the City of Pride and Purpose.
I was urged to stop by Jadwin Gym this afternoon for the annual Reunions Alumni Game and it was great to catch up with some familiar faces, many of a rather recent vintage. Before I split, I was requested to snap a group photo and I've shared it above.
Here's who I recognize/has been ID'd for me from left to right:
Patrick Saunders, Coach Marcus Jenkins, Frank Sowinski, Steve Mills, Edwin Buffmire, Kareem Maddox, John Comfort, Justin Conway, Luke Friedman, Bobby Foley, Coach Dan Geriot, Coach Brian Earl, Noah Savage, Jason Osier, Doug Davis, Kyle Koncz, Aaron Belz, Teddy Gobillot, Howie Levy, Bernie Stiroh, Jesse Rosenfeld, Jay Howson, Jared Katz and Coach Mitch Henderson.
Other former players present while I was around but not pictured: Dan Mavraides, Luke Owings, Jimmy Lane, Conor Neu, Matt Eastwick, Chris Marquardt, Patrick Ekeruo, former assistant Craig Moore and more.
Yesterday morning Chris Young pitched six shutout innings of two hit baseball for AAA Buffalo. There's postgame audio from Young attached to this link.
Princeton’s annual Reunions bacchanalia begins today and it is doubtful anyone returning for their fifth reunion will have as strong a conversation starter as Luke Owings.
Owings spent the better part of 2012 training for his first boxing match, a bout that was part of the charity event Haymakers For Hope, which raised money up in Boston for research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
His first fight behind him, Owings and I talked extensively last week and you can read Owings' words and watch video of all three rounds after the jump.
Before you dive into the piece, I recommend reviewing this previous interview from last month which provides a great deal of additional build-up detail and background.
Here’s the latest collection of videos from various corners of the Princeton basketball family. Above, Judson Wallace highlights in the first round of the ACB playoffs - including one ridiculous behind the back pass.
Tonight is Luke Owings' charity bout. Read our interview with Owings about his training and motivation to step in the ring here and consider making a donation to support Haymakers For Hope.
Chris Young pitched into the sixth inning during yesterday's second rehab start down in Florida. Young's next stop is likely AAA Buffalo.
Georgetown's Jeff Green will graduate this weekend, five years after leaving school for the NBA. A great story.
Will Venable had four hits (video) in a San Diego victory at Washington. Venable is third on the Padres with a .278 batting average.
On the recruiting front a guard from New Jersey lists Princeton as one of his four Ivy League suitors.
FC Barcelona fell to eventual champion Olympiacos in the Euroleague Final Four on Friday. In the game Judson Wallace scored three points off the bench.
Wallace received extended playing time during his team's subsequent third place game victory versus Panathinaikos, tallying 12 and grabbing four rebounds. Highlights are streaming here.
He might not have made it into a varsity game last season, but Princeton's Tom Noonan is succeeding off the court writing about music and culture, including this thoughtful piece on Tom Gabel from the band Against Me!.
See how Jadwin Gym and other Ivy venues stand up in the NCAA's 2012 Men's Basketball Attendance report.
A few recruiting tidbits for today...
There's a wing from Florida who has interest from Princeton as well as other Ivy programs.
Tiger head coach Mitch Henderson is scheduled to participate in the New York Yankees/New Era Pinstripe Bowl Charity Golf Tournament on Tuesday.
It was a successful minor league start for Chris Young down in Florida. The former Princeton two sport standout pitched five shutout innings for the St. Lucie Mets.
Judson Wallace is interviewed as FC Barcelona arrived in Turkey for their Eurocup Final Four matchup with Olympiacos. The game takes place at 2:00 pm ET today and can be streamed on ESPN3.
A big man from Florida is a late signee for Georgetown's 2012 recruiting class.
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.
