All 20 members of the Princeton men's basketball team saw game action and all but two scored as four players finished in double figures in a 108-46 win over Rowan in the Tigers' home opener Friday night in Jadwin Gym.
Spencer Weisz and Steven Cook co-led the team with 14 points apiece and rookies Vittorio Reynoso-Avila and Jose Morales added 10 apiece to score their first career points in the win. Fellow freshman Richmond Aririguzoh, as with Reynoso-Avila, made his career debut and scored his first points as a Tiger, netting a pair of buckets, and senior Alexander Lee, in his first full season with the squad, had a pair of field goals for his first career points in his Tiger debut.
Princeton scored 65 first-half points, shooting 63 percent from the field and 55 percent from 3-point range to lead by 40 at the break. The points were the most in a half in Mitch Henderson's five-plus season as the team's head coach, surpassing the 57 Princeton had in the first half last year against Lafayette. The 108 points also surpassed the 104 Princeton had against Lafayette for the most in a game in the Henderson era and the most since Princeton put up 108 in a 1971 game against Yale.
Though the game has often been a rust-breaker after the January exam period, this year's non-Division I game instead served as the home opener as the Tigers won't play at Jadwin Gym again until Dec. 14 against Saint Joseph's (5 p.m., ESPNU). In the interim, Princeton will have a tough road slate, going to VCU Tuesday, heading to Hawaii for a pair against Cal and Hawai'i in the Pearl Harbor Invitational Dec. 6-7 on Fox Sports 1, and returning East to visit Liberty on Dec. 10. Princeton has played a non-Division I team annually except once since 1986, and Friday's 62-point margin of victory was the most over a non-DI opponent in that span.
Princeton's 108 points tied for the fifth-most in a game in program history after the program-record 118 against Wichita State in 1965, 116 against Dartmouth in 1967, 110 against Colgate in 1966, 109 against Providence in 1965, and alongside the 108 against Lafayette in 1967 and Yale in 1971.
Princeton's visit to VCU Tuesday is a 7 p.m. start on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN).
