Princeton's final game before Ivy League play begins was a 71-61 Tiger victory over Norfolk State Tuesday night in Jadwin Gym. Though the Tigers were outshot from the field 48 to 39 percent and the Spartans had the rebounding edge as well, 40-34, Princeton made it up with nine 3-pointers while Norfolk State was just 2 of 11 from distance. Princeton's lead was nearly wire-to-wire, with the Spartans leading by no more than two points in the game's first four minutes along with a 41-40 lead with more than 13 minutes to play in the game after a 9-0 Spartans run. |
