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.

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

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.

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.

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

Do they still run the famed Princeton Offense ?

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

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 :wink:
