Postgame Notes: Princeton 77, Liberty 72
December 18, 2015 | Men's Basketball
• Princeton now leads the all-time series with Liberty 3-0, winning in three consecutive seasons.
• This was the sixth time in the eight games this season that Princeton shot .400 or better from the field. Princeton is 6-0 this season when it shoots 40 percent and 0-2 when it doesn't.
• Princeton's .188 3-point clip (3-12) against Liberty was a season-low percentage.
• Princeton's 28 free throws made were a season-high total, as were the 39 free throws attempted.
• Freshman Devin Cannady entered the game a perfect 17 for 17 from the free-throw line and ended it 24 of 25, his perfect streak ending on his 21st free throw. Still, the 7-for-8 game requalified him for the NCAA's statistical rankings from the stripe, and the .960 clip would make him fourth in the nation, based on stats entering the day.
• Liberty's .538 clip from the field was just the third time in eight games this season that a team shot 40 percent or better against Princeton. The Tigers are 2-1 in those three games, defeating Saint Peter's but losing to Stony Brook.
• Liberty's eight 3-pointers matched Saint Peter's for an opponent best against the Tigers.
• This was the first game this season in which Princeton lost on the glass but won the game. Princeton is now 5-0 when it wins the rebounding stat and 1-2 when it doesn't.
• Myles Stephens' nine points were a career high for the rookie.
• Junior Henry Caruso has now reset his career high twice this season, first with 27 against FDU and now with 29 against Liberty.
• Junior Pete Miller has scored 12 points in each of the last two games, the first time in his career he's reached double figures in back-to-back games.
