| Princeton scored the first 10 points of the game Sunday afternoon at the Honda Center in Anaheim and never trailed as the Tigers defeated San Jose State 69-54 to close their play in the Wooden Legacy. The Tigers made their first five tries from the floor and built a 14-2 lead before cooling off as San Jose State warmed up to whittle the deficit to a single point at 20-19 with less than seven minutes until half. Princeton answered by scoring the next 10 points to close the half with a 30-19 advantage and kept it going with the first five points of the break to build a 16-point lead with less than 18 minutes to go. Princeton's lead grew to as large as 20 in the win as Princeton hit 15 of 21 field goal attempts in the second half to pull away. San Jose State never got closer than 11 points after the break. Spencer Weisz led the Tigers with 16 points while Hans Brase chipped in 15 as nine Tigers played and eight scored. |
