How's your Italian? There's a multi-page article on Princeton basketball and Coach Johnson in Sutor Magazine. They were kind enough to link to this site in the piece, and I would love it if someone could translate for me!

Chris Young is unlikely to return to the Padres until after the All-Star break.

Will Venable was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday due to a wrist injury suffered in the batting cage prior to San Diego's game at Texas.

All eight schools have been announced for the 2009 Chicago Invitational Challenge. Northwestern versus Notre Dame is one of the marquee matchups.

Denver reserve Michael Vandahl will transfer to Nebraska.

Illinois State freshman Zeke Upshaw chose the Redbirds over Princeton, among other schools.

(More) Brian Earl highlights.

The same video package we posted on Monday, but with clips added at the start from Princeton's 1999 NIT win over Georgetown.

Earl led the Tigers in that game with 18 points on 4-8 shooting from the field and a 7-9 evening at the free throw line.

This earns Brian his own category on the site. I'll update older posts that mention him accordingly.

Denver has announced their 2009-10 men's basketball schedule, one that includes 16 home games at Magness Arena.

Will Venable avoided being sent down to AAA when Padre outfielder Scott Hairston came off the disabled list on Tuesday. Venable started in right field for San Diego last night, going 1-4 and striking out to end the game with the tying run on first base.

A 6'3" shooting guard from Maine says "Princeton is my top Ivy League school."

Thanks, Eddie!

The final 14 Club Senior On A Stick, printed on orange and white posters for Ed Persia's last game at Jadwin Gym.

While the injured Persia did not play in Princton's 59-46 victory over Cornell, he would return for the Tigers' NCAA tournament game against Texas, scoring three points and handing out three assists in nine minutes off the bench.

Scott Greenman & Brian Earl in action.

Scott Greenman's heroics at Cornell in double OT (27 points on 10-15 shooting) and versus Yale (27 points on 8-11 shooting) during his senior year.

Brian Earl and Princeton close down William Neal Reynolds Coliseum and silence the 12,000+ in attendance with a 61-58 win in the second round of the 1999 NIT followed by footage from the Tigers' improbable comeback at the Palestra earlier in the same season. That hesitation dribble is a thing of beauty.
