Tonight's top notes:
Princeton has now won its opener in three of the last four seasons, defeating Central Michigan three years ago and Rutgers two years ago.
Princeton had 17 assists on 19 made baskets against Buffalo. The Tigers out-assisted the Bulls 17-8 Saturday.
Princeton started 0 of 10 from 3-point range against Buffalo but warmed up to make 6 of 13.
Princeton will look to start 2-0 for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
Princeton was picked first in the Ivy League preseason poll, getting 16 of 17 first-place votes out of the pool of two media members from each of the eight Ivy markets and one national writer.
Princeton
is aiming for its fourth straight 20-win season, which would be a first
since 1999. A fourth straight postseason appearance would be the first
such time since 2002.
Princeton is looking for double-digit Ivy League wins in four straight years for the first time since 2004.
Princeton
returns three starters from 2011-12, including senior center Brendan Connolly,
senior forward Ian Hummer, and junior guard T.J. Bray. In addition, the
Tigers get back junior forward Will Barrett, who started four of the
eight games in which he played last season before suffering a foot
injury, and senior forward Mack Darrow started 16 games last season as
well.
Princeton returns 11 players who saw game action last season, including
five of the seven players who played in all 32 games last season.
Hummer, a first-team All-Ivy League pick last season who has been picked
by some outside publications as the favorite for Ivy League Player of
the Year, would be the first Ivy League Player of the Year since Brian
Earl in 1999.
Hummer is 13th on the Princeton career scoring list (1,182) and would
move up to second (1,550) if he scores as many points as he did his
junior year (515).
If Hummer duplicated his junior-season point total, he would reach 1,685
points, putting him in 13th place on the all-time Ivy League list. In
the last 10 seasons, only Cornell's Ryan Wittman (2,028) has reached the
1,600-point mark in the Ivy League.
Hummer last season had more points (515) than any Tiger since Brian Taylor in 1972 (676).
If Hummer reaches second on the school scoring list, the No. 2 spot to
Bill Bradley '65 would change twice in two years after staying the same
for 21 years.
After wins against Rutgers the last two years and Florida State last
year, Princeton is looking to defeat a major-conference opponent in
three consecutive seasons for the first time since the 1999-2000 season.
The Tigers have Rutgers and Syracuse on this year's schedule, coming up later this month.
Princeton returns 66 percent of its points from last season, even after
losing the program's second-leading all-time scorer, Douglas Davis '12.
Returning members of the team shot .483 from the field last year, better than the team's overall percentage of .462 last season.
Princeton has won 17 straight Ivy League games at home, the most since the team won 26 in a row from 1996-99.
Princeton will have its first five Ivy League games at home for the
second time in three years. In 2011, the Tigers were able to use the 5-0
start toward a 12-2 Ivy finish.
A year ago, Princeton started with five straight Ivy games on the road
and went 2-3 over that stretch. Princeton won 8 of 9 to close the Ivy
season.
Princeton
played a program-record 32 games last season for the second straight
year, making the quarterfinal of the College Basketball Invitational
last season and the Round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament in 2011.
This year's seniors, now with 68 wins, can chase the winningest classes ever in program history: 1992 (85), 1998 (89), 2000 (92) and 1999 (95). The Class of 1982 was the program's first class with four-year players.
Nearly
43 percent of the team's points last season were scored by members of
the Class of 2013, including Ian Hummer (515), Mack Darrow (223) and
Brendan Connolly (181). In the opener Saturday, the seniors had 35 percent of the points, with 12 from Hummer and eight from Connolly.
Princeton's 465 assists last season were the most since the 1999-2000 Tigers set the program record at 505. The stat began being kept in the mid-1970s.
Against Northeastern:
Princeton returns 50 of its 71 points from last year's meeting, led by 20 points from Ian Hummer and 12 from T.J. Bray. Northeastern returns 46 of its 62 points, including all three players in double figures and led by Jonathan Lee's 14 points.
The Tigers had a big second-half run to win the game last year after trailing by four at the half. Princeton outscored Northeastern 41-28 in the second half, building on a 17-2 run that started just before halftime. That gave the Tigers a 45-36 lead with 14 minutes left, and Princeton never relinquished the advantage. Princeton shot 66.7 percent in the second half, making 12 of 18 field-goal tries.
Milestones:
Ian Hummer is chipping away at the big gap between where he stands on the Princeton scoring list (13th, 1,170) and 12th place, held by Steve Goodrich '98 (1,207).
Ian Hummer is on pace to stand second in
career scoring and career field goals in program history, behind only
Bill Bradley '65, by the end of this season.
Bradley was a teammate of
Ian Hummer's father Ed Hummer '67 for one varsity season, the run to the
NCAA national semifinal in 1965.
On the program:
Princeton leads the Ivy League with 26 Ivy championships (56 seasons)
and 24 NCAA Tournament appearances (all since 1952).
Mitch
Henderson '98, the team's Franklin C. Cappon-Edward G. Green '40 head
coach, is the 29th man to hold the job and the fourth consecutive
alumnus to do so (John Thompson III '88, Joe Scott '87, Sydney Johnson
'97).
Henderson,
who played in three NCAA Tournaments for Princeton, spent 11 years at
Northwestern under one of his former coaches at Princeton, Bill Carmody,
as an assistant coach.
Princeton is tied for second with Kansas, and behind only North Carolina, in alumni as active Division I head coaches. Eight Tar Heels are roaming the sidelines, while six Jayhawks and these six Tigers are doing so: Thompson III '88 (Georgetown), Scott '87 (Denver), Johnson '97 (Fairfield), Henderson '98 (Princeton), Chris Mooney '94 (Richmond) and Craig Robinson '83 (Oregon State).
On Northeastern: The Huskies return their top four scorers from a year ago, including two who averaged double figures in Jonathan Lee (14.5 ppg) and Joel Smith (12.9 ppg) ... Northeastern was 14-17 overall last year and 6-11 in road games ... Northeastern was picked to finish fifth in the 11-team CAA, with Drexel, another Princeton opponent this season, forecasted to finish first ... Lee was a preseason first-team all-league pick, and Quincy Ford was a preseason second-team all-league choice ... Joel Smith was an honorable mention preseason all-league choice ... Northeastern defeated crosstown foe Boston University, coached by former Columbia mentor Joe Jones, 65-64 Friday night to open the season ... Smith led Northeastern against BU with 20 points, while Reggie Spencer had 18 ... the Huskies last made the NCAA Tournament in 1991.
