When head coach Barry Rohrssen was a teenager, siding up to the pool table at Andy's Tavern on the weekends to listen to Princeton coach Pete Carril dissect basketball games over a few beers, he wouldn't have believed that he would grow up to lead Manhattan to their first win at Jadwin Gym in school history.
The visiting Jaspers turned around a 13 point deficit with under 12 minutes left in regulation, defeating Princeton 71-65. The loss was the Tigers' eighth straight of the season.
Coach Rohrssen was caught by surprise after the game upon learning that Manhattan had not won in any of their previous 12 visits to Princeton.

It is highly unlikely that any of the 6,188 in attendance at the Bryce Jordan Center on Wednesday night expected Lincoln Gunn's soft three point shot from the top of the arc midway through the first half to be Princeton's only points in the next ten minutes of play.
Gunn had just tied the score 9-9 at the 10:35 mark off an assist from Kyle Koncz on Princeton's first three of the game, following six consecutive open misses on the perimeter.
Penn State managed only 14 points during this drought, but it was enough to open up a defensive struggle that concluded with the Nittany Lions on top 61-38.
