Princeton Wins Third Straight, Tops GW in Jadwin
December 01, 2018 | Men's Basketball
Make it three wins in a row for the Princeton men's basketball team, which led for the final 27-plus minutes in a 73-52 victory over George Washington Saturday evening in Jadwin.
The win moves Princeton to 4-2 on the season with a visit from another Atlantic 10 team, Saint Joseph's, coming up Wednesday at 7 p.m.
"We've now had a couple games where – Monmouth and now this one – where it's sort of a little bit of a slugfest," Mitch Henderson, the Franklin C. Cappon-Edward G. Green '40 head coach of Princeton men's basketball, said. "I feel really good about coming out on the right side of those games."
Princeton trailed 15-9 less than seven minutes into the game but went on a 7-0 run to take the lead, and after GW pulled ahead for what turned out to be the final time on a Terry Nolan 3-pointer with just more than nine minutes to go before the half, Princeton went on a 10-0 run, with five points apiece from Devin Cannady and Ryan Schwieger, to take a 26-18 lead with less than seven minutes to go before the half and never trail again.
Cannady and Myles Stephens continued their climbs in the Princeton record books. Cannady had three 3-pointers to tie Sean Jackson '92 for third place on the program's career list with 235, and he's behind only Douglas Davis '12 (276) and Brian Earl '99 (281) on that list. Stephens, now with 1,077 points, jumped four spots to pass Jim Brangan '60 (1,062), Art Hyland '63 (1,064), the coach of another A-10 program in Richmond, Chris Mooney '94 (1,071), and Bob Roma '79 (1,076) for 24th. Barnes Hauptfuhrer '76 (1,079) is two points ahead of Stephens in 23rd.
Stephens, with a double-double on 19 points and 11 boards, led four Tigers in double figures with Cannady at 16 points and Jose Morales and Richmond Aririguzoh at 13 apiece.
Postgame Notes
• While tying for third on Princeton's career 3-point list, senior Devin Cannady became the 10th Tiger to surpass 1,300 career points and moved closer to No. 9 on the program's career scoring list, now with 1,310 points. He's 11 back of Geoff Petrie '70 (1,321), who is one of only two other Tigers aside from Cannady between 1,300 and 1,400. The other is Bob Scrabis '89 at 1,365.
• Juniors Richmond Aririguzoh and Jose Morales each set career highs in scoring with 13 points apiece. Morales, who also had a career-high four rebounds, posted his numbers in a career-best 35 minutes.
Henderson on Morales: "For him to be sitting here right now, coming through as a junior, and we need him. We need him bad, because it allows Myles where he needs to play. It allows Devin to play where he needs to play."
Henderson on Aririguzoh: "We need him. In our league, some of the most impactful offensive players are bigs, and early on in our schedule, we're going to see some of those guys right away. We're going to need Richmond to be solid."
• Senior Myles Stephens' double-double was the fifth of his career and his second this season. He had 18 points and 12 boards at Lehigh on Nov. 16.
• Princeton's .521 field goal percentage was its best of the season.
