    Haslametrics is pretty down on the Dukes. Interestingly they have us winning =16px 72.47 to 71.59.
    I assume that's the home court advantage factoring in. Go Dukes!

    Seems like a bellwether game. We have already been in some battles so they should be mentally prepared for another competitive game. Hope there is a good crowd!

    Should be a good matchup, Drame twins activate!   Need both of them tonight.   Need Clark's best defensive efforts too.

    Re: Game Thread - Princeton University Tigers

    Princeton’s starters are all averaging over 30 minutes per game. They don’t rely on their bench very much at all. The Dukes depth should allow them to pressure Princeton for the entire game. I also expect Savrasov will help neutralize #3, Caden Pierce, their 6’7” forward rebounding machine.

    Re: Game Thread - Princeton University Tigers

    Not only is Pierce a rebounding machine with 15 against Hofstra last week, he scored 26 points at a 50% efficiency rate!  The Dukes will need to guard effectively against the 3 point (since all of the Tigers are deadly shooters).   I think the key, since they essentially use only 6 players -- is to press and tire them out if that is possible.  We use 10-11 players, so that should not be a problem.   

    However, they are all definitely good athletes.  It won't be easy.   I watched some of their games -- at Rutgers and at Hofstra - and they are like a machine.  Grinding it in, kicking it outside and then shooting from the perimeter, sometimes even further.

    No inside game. Do we have a single basket in the paint other than a drive by Clark?
    Princeton's passing game is a work of art.

    What magic can Dambrot sprinkle on them this halftime?    The slightest Dukes mistake is taken advantage of by Princeton.

    Stew's response was much less energetic.

    After a timeout, is that the best play the Dukes could come up with at the 30 second mark ?

    Damn.  Good effort to make it close.  Drame needs to make that shot for the win.  Woulda created some excitement with a comeback win with nothing else going on in town, but instead people will think same old Dikes.  😤
