Cornell announced that due to Princeton's exam schedule, the Ivy League opener between the Big Red and the Tigers would be moved up two weeks.
This alteration is not unprecedented but it is also not common over recent seasons. The previous two times Princeton opened conference play before breaking for exams didn't work out well for the Tigers: Swept at Columbia and Cornell in 2007 and a split with Cornell and Columbia at Jadwin in 2006. Prior to that the orange and black bested both Harvard and Dartmouth on the road in January 2002.

I believe this is a complete list, but if I'm missing anyone let me know!
It was a series of small, fortunate bounces that drew Stephen Goldsmith and I together. A teacher out for the day. A casual conversation that touched upon Princeton basketball. A passing introduction while both at Jadwin Gym after a football game.
That was over four years ago, the inadvertent genesis of what would become a partnership between the two of us which brought endless stellar photographs to this site since 2007 and brought a young man into my life who I've greatly enjoyed watching mature.
Along the way Stephen became friends with many of you as he turned what were once my silent, solitary drives to question-filled discussions from gym to gym.
Hard as it is for me to conceive, Stephen Goldsmith graduates high school today. As someone who likes to embarrass those he cares about when they achieve something significant, this occasion is worth posting here publicly.
Over the weekend there was a graduation party at the Goldsmiths'. Stephen's grandfather was able to surprise him with a autographed photo of Coach Carril (pictured above). This image - shot by Stephen - ran in Sports Illustrated in 2009, allowing him to accomplish the only life goal he ever shared with me by age 16.
While Stephen's grandfather was pulling off this surprise, I was simultaneously working covertly with a secret agent at Jadwin (let's call him "LS") to bowl SG over with a basketball signed by all of the 2010-11 Tigers - a way to remember our final, monumental journey together before he heads off to college in Florida in the fall.
When I presented this gift to Stephen his face lit up as I imagine mine would have if you had handed me a ball signed by the 1990-91 Princeton team two decades previous.
For once, Stephen was speechless.
Congratulations Stephen! I'm very proud of you and I'm certainly not alone in that sentiment.
In the history of the Ivy League, the player to score the most points in an NCAA Tournament game not named Bill Bradley is Princeton's Kevin Mullin '84.
As a senior Mullin was able to crack Pete Carril's starting lineup and alongside classmate Billy Ryan helped rally the Tigers from a 0-2 conference start to win a second straight Ivy League title. The man called "Moon" shot 61.8% from the floor for the year, averaging 17 points per game.
Princeton would defeat San Diego in a preliminary round of the tournament where Mullin scored a remarkable 38 points, 12-15 from the floor and 14-16 at the free throw line.
The lessons Mullin learned as a student-athlete at Princeton as well as his experiences both prior to college and subsequently in the professional world have inspired him to write "Student-Athletes - A Guide For The Future."
The book, available in both physical and electronic versions at Amazon, is Mullin's attempt to provide guidance for young people and their mentors facing situations similar to those he went through decades previous.
I had a wide-ranging 30+ minute conversation with Moon on the phone yesterday and you can read a transcript of our discussion about his playing days, a number of fantastic Coach Carril stories, challenges for today's student-athletes and more on his book after the jump.
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. This site is not directly affiliated with the Friends of Princeton Basketball, Princeton University or the Princeton athletic department.
