Last Weekend

A night after getting a 30-point victory over Columbia Friday, Cornell gave the Tigers trouble Saturday, with Princeton needing a Kareem Maddox bucket with 10 seconds left and a block at the other end, plus surviving a last-gasp 3-point try, to escape with a 57-55 win.

Princeton and Penn completed their respective five-game/nine-day gauntlet Saturday, a unique scheduling setup to the two schools as the other six Ivies play their travel partners while Princeton is in its break for finals in January. The Tigers completed the gauntlet at 5-0 for the first time since the great 1997-98 team did so on its way to a 26-1 regular season.

The Columbia-Cornell weekend was also an individual contrast between the two nights. Kareem Maddox carried Princeton with 23 points at Cornell a night after finishing as one of four Tigers in double figures with 10 points at Columbia. Ian Hummer set a career high with 25 points against the Lions and had six against the Big Red. Dan Mavraides contributed 17 at Columbia but was saddled with foul trouble against Cornell and went scoreless.

Princeton shot well from the field both nights, with 56.9% at Columbia and 47.6% at Cornell, but the 3-point shot played a limited role for a program that has made at least one triple in every game since the rule was instituted 25 years ago. Princeton tried just eight in each game, making three at Columbia and one at Cornell, the first time Princeton had fewer than 10 attempts from distance in back-to-back games since the very first two games Princeton played under the rule in 1986, against Franklin & Marshall (5 for 8) and Seton Hall (5 for 9).

The four 3-pointers Princeton made over the weekend were its fewest over a two-game span since making three against Columbia and Penn in 1996. Columbia and Cornell combined to outdo Princeton by just one over the weekend, with the Lions hitting two against Princeton and the Big Red three.

The 18 turnovers Princeton committed at Cornell was an unusual number, as the Tigers have committed that many this season only against Wagner (18 on Dec. 17) and Duke (27 on Nov. 14). Cornell's 11 steals were the most for a Princeton opponent since Rutgers swiped 13 in the season opener, also a Tiger win.

Princeton won the first leg of the Columbia-Cornell trip for the first time since 2006 with a 76-46 win Friday night at Columbia. If the Tigers can complete the sweep, it will be the first time since 2004 that Princeton has swept this trip. From 1994-2004, the Tigers swept the Columbia-Cornell trip 10 times in 11 tries.

Princeton's 30-point win was its largest ever at Columbia in a series that began in 1901. It was Princeton's largest win over Columbia overall since 1999, Princeton's largest win over a Division I team since 2003 (UMBC), and Princeton's largest win on the road since 1998 (Dartmouth).

Princeton swept the Columbia-Cornell trip for the first time since 2004. The Tigers had swept it 10 of 11 times from '94 to '04, but not since until last weekend.

Cornell was the only Ivy League team not to fall behind to Princeton by double digits in the Tigers' first go-round through the league. The largest deficit against Cornell was six points, compared to 30 against Columbia, 24 against Brown, 22 against Dartmouth, 13 each against Yale and Penn, and 11 against Harvard.

19-4, 7-0 Ivy

Princeton is one of two league-undefeated teams in Division I men's basketball, alongside Texas (23-3, 11-0 Big 12, next at Nebraska Sat.).

Princeton has the highest winning percentage (.826) of any team not ranked or receiving votes in the Associated Press poll. The Tigers are ranked No. 7 in the CollegeInsider.com mid-major poll.

This year's Princeton team is the 11th Tiger club and 30th Ivy League team to be undefeated at the halfway mark. The last Princeton team to stand 7-0 in the Ivy was in 1999, and the last Ivy League team to do so was Cornell in 2008. That year's Big Red squad was also the last to finish the league undefeated.

The 1997-98 team was the last Princeton team to go beyond 7-0 in the Ivy as it ended up running the table at 14-0. The 1998-99 team, which was the last Princeton team to start 7-0, saw its streak ended at Yale on Feb. 12, 1999, 60-58 in double overtime.

The Ivy streak-snapping game at Yale 12 years ago came one game, and three days, after the largest comeback in Ivy League history when Princeton rallied from deficits of 29-3, 33-9 and 40-13 to beat Penn 50-49. Coincidentally, the next-biggest comeback in Ivy history happened last weekend, when Harvard rallied from 24 points down to beat Brown Saturday night.

Princeton's 19-4 record is its best through 23 games since the 1997-98 team was 22-1 at this point with its only loss to a North Carolina team that advanced to the Final Four.

Seven of Princeton's last eight regular-season losses have come by a total of 20 points. Aside from the Duke game, the deficits were one (James Madison), two (Maine, Presbyterian), three (Cornell twice, Brown) and six (UCF) points. This season, three of Princeton's four losses came by a total of nine points (one, James Madison; two, Presbyterian; six, UCF).

Following a 2-4 start to the 2009-10 season, Princeton has won 39 of its last 48 games. Following a 2-3 start to this season, with two of those losses coming by a combined three points, Princeton has won 17 of its last 18 games.

Jadwin Gym Success

Princeton is now 10-0 on the season at home and has won its last 14 games in Jadwin Gym. By the time the Tigers return home next weekend, it will be a full calendar year without a home loss for Princeton, which last lost in Jadwin on Feb. 20, 2010 to Brown.

The 14-game home winning streak is Princeton's longest since the Tigers won 22 in a row from Jan. 6, 1997 to Dec. 9, 1998. It is the fifth-longest winning streak in Jadwin Gym history, behind a 16-gamer from 1973-75, an 18-gamer from 1976-78, the 22-gamer from 1997-98 and a 28-gamer from 1989-91.

At 10-0 in Jadwin Gym, Princeton is one of 25 teams in Division I to have an unbeaten record at home entering the week. That makes up just 7.4% of Division I membership.

This is only the fifth time in 42 full seasons in Jadwin Gym that the Tigers have started 10-0 at home. The other four years, Princeton finished undefeated at home: 1975 (10-0), 1977 (11-0), 1990 (12-0) and 1998 (12-0).

Historical Notes

Another win would give Sydney Johnson his second 20-win season in as many years. He would tie Albert Wittmer (1923-32) with two 20-win seasons and stand behind only Bill Carmody (1996-00) and Butch van Breda Kolff (1962-67), with three apiece, and Pete Carril (1967-96), who had 10.

Princeton's nine-game winning streak is its longest since the last nine games of 2004. Another win would give the Tigers their longest streak since 11 straight from Dec. 28, 1998 to Feb. 9, 1999. While the 2004 streak ended in the NCAA Tournament against Texas, the 11-gamer in 1999 ended on the road at Yale.

Playing its first five Ivy League games at home and then 7 of 9 on the road may be unusual for Princeton, but it's not unprecedented. The Tigers had the same setup in 1985, 1994 and 1996. In none of those three years, however, did Princeton win all five of the early home games, as it did this year. In '85, the Tigers started 2-3 at home, then 4-1 each in '94 and '96. Princeton went 5-4 the rest of the Ivy season in '85, then 7-2 in '94 and 8-1 in '96.

The Tigers have shown they can win on the road this season, going 5-1 during a month-long stretch of games away from Jadwin Gym in December.

Individual Milestones

Next on the 1,000-point list for Douglas Davis, who against Penn became the first junior in 21 years to reach the mark, is Ian Hummer's uncle John Hummer '70 in 25th place at 1,031. Friday at Columbia, Davis (1,024) passed Will Venable '05 (1,010) for 26th place.

Kareem Maddox's block numbers have increased each season, from nine as a freshman to 16 as a sophomore, then 27 as a junior and already 46 this season. With four blocks at Cornell for a career total of 98, Maddox passed Craig Robinson '83 (97) and tied Rich Simkus '83. Maddox is two blocks away from becoming the third Tiger since the block stat began being recorded regularly in 1975-76 to record 100 career blocks, alongside Chris Young '02 (145) and Rick Hielscher '95 (159).

Maddox's 46 blocks this season have him one behind Rick Hielscher '95 for third place on the Princeton single-season list. Hielscher had 47 blocks in his rookie season of 1991-92. Only Chris Young '02 is ahead of Hielscher, getting 55 blocks as a rookie in 1998-99 and 90 as a sophomore in 1999-00 before signing a baseball contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates, ending his eligibility. Young is now a New York Met.

Douglas Davis stands fourth on the career 3-point list at 179 with still a way to go to pass Gabe Lewullis '99 (212), Sean Jackson '92 (25) and current assistant coach Brian Earl '99 (281). Dan Mavraides is ninth on the list at 148, with Noah Savage '08 and Bob Scrabis '89 next at 155 each.

Douglas Davis is one of five players in the 25 years the rule has been in place to hit 50 3-pointers in three seasons, along with Sean Jackson '92, Gabe Lewullis '99, Brian Earl '99 and Kyle Koncz '08. Next year, he could join Earl as the only Tiger to hit 50 in all four seasons. Dan Mavraides is six 3-pointers away from his second 50 3-pointer season and would become the seventh Tiger with multiple 50 3-pointer seasons.

Davis and Mavraides are fifth and 10th respectively on the school's career list of 3-pointers attempted. Davis (446) is behind his coach, Sydney Johnson '97 (452), while next up for Mavraides (378) is C.J. Chapman '01 (380). Brian Earl '99 is the leader at 675.

Against Yale and Brown

The current senior class, and Sydney Johnson during his tenure as Princeton's head coach, are 4-3 against Yale but have won four straight. A win Friday would give the Tigers their first back-to-back wins at Yale since 2003 and 2004. The seniors and Johnson are 3-4 against Brown but have won three of the last four meetings. Another win in Providence would give the Tigers their first back-to-back wins at Brown since 2004 and 2005. A second straight sweep of the Yale-Brown trip would give Princeton its first back-to-back sweeps of the weekend since 1997 and 1998.

Since it became part of the schedule in 1957, the Yale-Brown trip has gone for a Princeton sweep 26 times, has been a split for the Tigers 20 times, and has dealt Princeton two losses eight times. Princeton has only one sweep streak of longer than three years on the trip, from 1963-69.

In this year's earlier meeting with Yale on Jan. 29, Princeton shot 64% in the first half and took a 10-point lead into the locker room. The lead grew to as much as 13 in the second half, but the Bulldogs trimmed it to one with less than two minutes to go. A turnover by Yale's Austin Morgan with the Bulldogs down one with 29 seconds to go essentially ended it, as Princeton hit 3 of 4 free throws from that point in a 67-63 win. All four of Princeton's four leading scorers on the season finished in double figures, with Douglas Davis turning in a game-high 18 and Ian Hummer contributing a double-double with 12 points and 11 boards. Reggie Willhite led Yale, which also had four players in double figures, with 13 points.

Brown led by eight midway through the first half in the team's first meeting on Jan. 28 to open the Ivy League season, but the Tigers rallied for a 78-60 win. Princeton employed a 24-2 run over more than six minutes to take a 14-point lead that grew to as much as 24 after the break. Matt Sullivan scored a game-high 22 points for Brown, while Princeton's four leading scorers were in double figures. Kareem Maddox had 15 points and 14 rebounds to lead Princeton. Sullivan's brother Peter, Brown's leading scorer on the season, left the game early in the second half with a shoulder injury and has not played since.

Princeton has no common non-league opponents with either Yale or Brown this season.

Princeton in the Ivy and NCAA Rankings

Princeton has no individual leaders in any Ivy all-season rankings but leads the league as a team in scoring defense (63.1 ppg), in field goal percentage (.472), in field goal percentage defense (.415), in 3-point field goal percentage (.376) and in 3-point field goal percentage defense (.327).

Mack Darrow is Princeton's only Ivy League leader in conference games, making 8 of 15 from beyond the arc for a league-best .533 percentage. Princeton has two of the top three in that category, with Dan Mavraides third at .500 (12 of 24).

Among conference-only games, Princeton and Yale have had the best scoring defenses in the Ivy League to this point, with the Tigers leading 56.7 ppg to Yale's 65.4 allowed. Princeton also leads in scoring margin (+10.9 ppg), in field goal percentage defense (.393), in 3-point field goal percentage (.406), in 3-point field goal percentage defense (.286), in rebounding offense (36.9 rpg), in rebounding defense (29.1 rpg allowed), and in rebounding margin (+7.7).

In the latest NCAA rankings, released prior to Monday's games, Princeton's top national ranking other than winning percentage (14th, .826) is in field goal percentage (31st, .472). Ian Hummer holds Princeton's top individual ranking, in field goal percentage (37th, .550). Kareem Maddox (110 of 187, .588) would need to make 15 field goals this weekend to be eligible for next week's rankings.

Tiger Trends

Princeton is 12-0 when it shoots better than 46.0% from the field this season.

Princeton is 6-0 when it shoots 42% or better from beyond the arc.

Princeton is 12-1 this season when shooting 70% from the free-throw line (loss at UCF, 93.3%).

Princeton is 11-0 this season when opponents shoot 40% or lower from the field.

Princeton is 19-1 this season when opponents shoot below 50% from beyond the arc and 14-0 when opponents shoot 36% or lower from distance.

Princeton is 8-0 this season when holding opponents to fewer than 10 assists.

The magic number on the scoreboard for Princeton this season has been 68. The Tigers are 12-0 this season when they score 68 points. Princeton is also 14-0 when opponents score 64 or fewer points.

Princeton is 10-0 this season when an opponent has not reached 28 points by halftime.

The Tigers are 15-2 when leading at the half, 3-2 when trailing and 1-0 when tied. Princeton was down to Siena by four at the half and to Tulsa by one before winning both in OT. Princeton was down one to Harvard before winning that in regulation. The Tigers were up 13 on James Madison at the break before losing by one and up eight on UCF before losing by six.

Rebounding has not had a perfect correlation to victory for the Tigers this season, who are 6-1 when they get outrebounded and 13-3 when they win the battle of the boards.

The 1:12 that Princeton trailed by 10 or 11 points against Harvard on Feb. 4 was the first time since Nov. 23 against Bucknell that Princeton trailed by double digits and just the second time in the last 20 games. The 11-point deficits in each of those games are the largest from which Princeton has rallied to win this season.

Princeton saw its streak of scoring at least 60 points in every game this season, and in 24 games dating back to last season, end at Cornell. It was the second-longest streak in program history to start a season after the 1962-63 Tigers, who scored 60 in all 25 of their games. It was also the longest streak over any span since the 1964-65 and 65-66 teams reached it in 30 straight.

Princeton has four players averaging double-figure points, with Ian Hummer at 14.0, Kareem Maddox at 13.2, Dan Mavraides at 12.9, and Douglas Davis at 12.9. Princeton has not had four players finish a season in double figures since 2003, when four starters, including current San Diego Padres outfielder Will Venable '05, did so.

Princeton has used two starting lineups this season. Ian Hummer, Douglas Davis, Dan Mavraides and Brendan Connolly have started all 23 games, while Patrick Saunders has started in place of Kareem Maddox the last 20 games.

If It Happens...

The Tigers set a program record with four OT victories in one season when they beat Penn 62-59 on Feb. 8. This team is the fifth Tiger program to play in at least four OT games, alongside 1978-79, 1994-95 and 1998-99. The record for OT games in one season belongs to the 1980-81 Tigers, who played in five.

If Kareem Maddox scores 30 points again this season, he would join Bill Bradley '65, Geoff Petrie '70 and Brian Taylor '84 as the only Tigers in program history with three 30-point games in a season. Presently, he is the only Ivy League with two 30-point games this season (31 at Tulsa, 30 vs. Siena), and he is the first Tiger with two 30-point games in a season since Kevin Mullin '84.

Princeton has had five players scoring in double-figures in four games this season, against Marist, Towson, Monmouth and Saint Joseph's. It is the first time Princeton has had five players reach double figures in as many as four games since the 1973-74 season. The 1971-72 season was the last time Princeton had five such games. The 1967-68 team holds the record with nine such games.

Princeton has had as many as six players reach double figures in a game three times, in 1956, 1967 and 2000. The 2000 game, coming Mar. 4 against Brown, is the only time in program history Princeton had seven players in double figures.

Coach Sydney Johnson

Sydney Johnson is tied for seventh in program history in games coached alongside mentor John Thompson III '88 (110 each). Thompson was an assistant coach at Princeton during Johnson's playing career and gave Johnson his first assistant coaching position after Johnson ended his European playing career in 2004. Next on the games-coached list is Bill Carmody at 117. Carmody coached Johnson in his final season as a Tiger player. The rest of the list inclludes Pete Carril as the all-time leader at 775 games, followed by Franklin "Cappy" Cappon at 431, Albert Wittmer at 201, Frederick Leuhring at 143 and Butch van Breda Kolff '45 at 134.

Friday's victory at Columbia was Johnson's 60th as Princeton's head coach, good for eighth on the program's list. Up next is John Thompson III '88 at 68.

Johnson is the third-longest tenured coach in the Ivy League, one week short of Harvard's Tommy Amaker, with both men in their fourth seasons at their current schools. Yale's James Jones is the Ivy dean, in his 12th season.

Johnson is at 10 games above .500 (60-50) for the first time in his head coaching stint with the Tigers. Since the beginning of calendar year 2009, Johnson's record is 52-19.

Johnson is one of five Princeton alumni who are currently Division I head coaches, all disciples of Pete Carril. The other four are Chris Mooney '94 (Richmond), John Thompson III '88 (Georgetown), Joe Scott '87 (Denver) and Craig Robinson '83 (Oregon State). Princeton is tied with Indiana, and behind North Carolina (seven), for the second-most active Division I head coaches produced.

"MARV"

Princeton's "MARV" patches are in honor of Marvin Bressler, the late professor who came to Princeton in 1963 and began serving in an informal advisor role with the team. He was an inspiration to create the Academic-Athletic Fellows program that serves all Princeton teams. Bressler was an Academic-Athletic Fellow for men's basketball through the 2009-10 season before he passed away on July 7, 2010 at age 87.
