Thank you for your interest in princetonbasketball.com this season.
With four members of the extended Princeton family - Richmond, Northwestern, Georgetown and Oregon State - all playing in postseason games on Wednesday, I've decided to do something new on the site:
The first-ever princetonbasketball.com live chat!
You'll be able to ask me questions, talk about the games as they happen and interact with each other starting at 6:30 pm ET through the final buzzer in Corvallis.
The chat will be moderated.
I'll be providing updates on all four games and I might have a prize or two to give away during this marathon.

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.
