I will be there in my official role as Nacho Tester

Come ready to see some three jacked up. They shoot 38.9% as a team from behind the arc. And even more astonishing is that they shoot more from three than inside the arc. 324 of their 614 shots this season have been from three.

Princeton may be the best team we have played this season.

Definitely a change from the Pete Carril influenced, backdoor heavy, grind it out, low scoring games that I had gotten accustomed to from them.

Posted: **January 2nd, 2014, 11:45 pm**

I hear they use the "Princeton offense".

Posted: **January 2nd, 2014, 11:59 pm**

How does Princeton have a $18.2 billion endowment (3rd Largest in US) as stated above, and probably one of the suckiest logo's I have seen (also posted above). Of course I would rather have better team play than a logo anyday, but the logo is awful.

Posted: **January 3rd, 2014, 12:25 am**

They actually have around $2M in endowment per student which is the largest in the world. And yes, all of their athletic branding is pretty awful. I am guessing those that handle the budgets are not huge hoops fans.

Posted: **January 3rd, 2014, 12:59 am**

It seems that their top priorities are probably not athletic branding. Crazy talk I know.

Posted: **January 3rd, 2014, 9:50 am**

Do they still run the famed Princeton Offense ?

I plan to make my season debut in the Vines Center tomorrow to see this game.

We're going to get smoked. I'll be in attendance though.

Posted: **January 3rd, 2014, 11:12 am**

I am afraid you are correct.

This one is on TV - Nick Pierce and I on the call. MASN, ESPN 3, Liberty Channel, Bigsouthsports.com.

Which part are you afraid of? Us getting smoked or him being in attendance?

I didn't know Purple could afford those padded seats, but that's probably where the hottest nachos are!

I didn't say HOW far behind. But I can be pretty loud. Louder then the Honorable Mark Hines who loves to yell at the officials and gives us a great reputation
