The only preview of today's game I could find was in the Morning Sun.
There's a preliminary report about the Tigers in this week's Princeton Packet.
Basketball-U's Ivy coverage has returned after a one year hiatus! Start with their 2009-10 Princeton summary.
Greg Monroe had 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Georgetown (1-0) over Tulane, 74-58.
Northwestern (1-0) began their year on the right foot, beating Northern Illinois by 22. There is a chance Wildcat senior forward Kevin Coble may have surgery and redshirt this season.
Richmond (1-0) pulled away from Lehigh down the stretch for a 65-53 win.
Northern Iowa got past Denver (0-1) at Magness Arena, 71-65.
At the Duel In The Desert, Oregon State (0-1) ran into a sandstorm named Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The Beavers were 2-10 from the free throw line in the first half and committed 25 turnovers on the night as they fell in a 44-19 hole that was insurmountable.
Mercer (2-1) went on the road and defeated Chesapeake in double overtime, 77-69. Isiah Andrews and Quincy Hendryx each scored 15 for the Vikings.
Also returning this year is the Schuylkill 16, a weekly ranking of Delaware Valley teams that I vote in. Princeton placed 10th in the Opening Week edition.
Around the Ivy League: Harvard (1-0) began their campaign with an impressive victory at Holy Cross. Brown (1-0) also won on the road, 68-64 over St. Francis (NY). Alex Zampier scored 35, but Yale (0-1) came up short of the finish line, dropping a 92-86 track meet to Sacred Heart. Penn (0-1) was unable to stop Penn State junior guard Talor Battle, who scored 27 points and grabbed 10 boards. The Quakers lost 70-55. Boston College may have had three players suspended for their season opener, but they still had no problem with Dartmouth, 89-58.
