Prior to practice this afternoon, Tigers head coach Mitch Henderson and princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon met at Jadwin Gym to tape their penultimate weekly interview of 2011-12.
Henderson and Solomon reviewed Princeton's split on the road at Harvard and Dartmouth in great detail and previewed the regular season's final trio of games at home versus Yale, Brown and Penn.
During the discussion the pair also talked about T.J. Bray exceeding 100 assists in a season, if Henderson's team is playing its most consistent basketball these last three weeks, each member of this year's senior class and the Tigers' postseason chances.

Down by double digits for most of the night, Northwestern (17-12) staged a ferocious rally against #10 Ohio State. Alex Marcotullio's deep three pointer from the top of the key tied the game at 73 in the waning moments as Welsh-Ryan Arena went berserk. Jared Sullinger spun inside to put the Buckeyes up once more with three ticks remaining and in his final regular season home game John Shurna's half court shot caught only the front of the rim at the buzzer. It was devastating. The Wildcats were outrebounded 44-18.
I can't lie - I was so nervous when I got home late in the second half I couldn't bring myself to watch until the final 20 seconds.

The Trentonian has more on Rider's three point home victory over Fairfield (17-13).
Postgame audio - Coach Sydney Johnson & Maurice Barrow:
Battling back from down 13 points with 14:17 to go, Fairfield (17-13) was able to pull even at 55 against Rider (13-18) on a pair of Maurice Barrow free throws, but could not convert three prime chances in the last minute to either win the game or send the afternoon to overtime.
Barrow missed a pair of free throws – one long, one short - after being fouled on a drop step with :46 remaining and the Stags behind 63-62.
Then, out of a time out nine seconds later the Broncs went immediately inside to Novar Gadson for a quick righty flip and a three point game.
Unlike Princeton at Harvard on Friday, Fairfield opted against the quick two and subsequent foul. Rakim Sanders, who scored 13 of his team best 17 in the second half on a series of strong drives, got a good look on the left wing yet the tying try went in and out.
Rider’s Junior Fortunat was fouled but left both his attempts off the front rim and the Stags got one final opportunities at drawing even. As the clock ticked down from nine Sanders pulled up for a three that sailed long.
The ball bounded into the Fairfield bench while time expired.
While I write up today's Fairfield loss at Rider and simultaneously get ready for the Academy Awards (multitasking!), enjoy this package about last night's Northwestern victory in State College.
