A look back at Princeton's signature victory.

The Daily Princetonian writes about how the Tigers faired versus Jeremy Lin, which complements this piece from the site nicely.

Princeton recruit Hans Brase must have received a second opinion. While Brase originally wrote his season was done due to a torn ankle ligament, he was on the floor for The Hill School in their PAISAA Tournament quarterfinal loss to Friends' Central.

Another future Tiger saw their high school career conclude with a defeat. Mike Washington, Jr. had 14 points as Oak Harbor was knocked out of the Class 3A Northwest District Tournament.

A junior guard from North Carolina says Princeton is one of the schools showing interest in him.

Georgetown (19-5) never trailed against St. John's, but was unable to take their lead to double digits until the final three seconds. Hoya Hoops provides postgame audio from a 71-61 final and Hoya Prospectus runs the numbers.

It was a very impressive fifth straight win for Fairfield (15-10), who went to league leader Loyola (Md.) and returned north with a 17 point triumph.

Every time Northwestern (15-9) took the lead in the second half, it seemed like Purdue answered with a three pointer. The Boilermakers hit back to back treys with six minutes left to break the game's eighth tie and defeated the Wildcats 87-77.
