Princeton Women Ripped Off by NCAA Selection Committee
Monday, 16 March 2015
by Spencer Parts
The Princeton women’s basketball team received a no. 8 seed in the NCAA Women’s Tournament this year. That means the selection committee thought them to be roughly the 32nd best team overall, and it’s a shock, given the team finished the season ranked no. 13 in the A.P. poll. The team will face off with
Dear Spelman Resident

If this is your life-size inflatable basketball player, you should know that you successfully terrified me last night when I walked past your room. Congratulations. Also, one of your co-Spelman dwellers has a life-size cutout of Justin Bieber. ‘Nuff said.

Week In Review: The Kitchen Sink Edition (July 4-July 10)
Tuesday, 12 July 2011
by Julia Bumke
It’s been a pretty quiet week in terms of Orange Bubble activity–with a few notable exceptions, which came from all over the high/lowbrow Princetonia spectrum. First up, Princeton’s basketball star Kareem Maddox ’11, who made waves with his stellar post-season performances against Harvard and Kentucky in March, has signed a one-year contract with Dutch team Landstede Basketbal, where Princeton’s

IN PRINT: The roar of the crowd…
Sunday, 20 March 2011
by Angela Wu
The band calls them “the hecklers”: two students who go to as many home men’s basketball games as the plaid-clad band itself does — which is to say, all of them. They stand, dressed in orange and black, at the front of the student section in Jadwin Gym, armed with a megaphone and a cruel

ORANGE EUPHORIA

by Alice Su
A list of reasons why it’s good to be Princetonian right now: 1.) Midterms are over. 2.) Spring break is upon us. 3.) Our basketball men just beat Harvard 63-62 to win a bid to the NCAA Tournament!! A snapshot of the Tiger blood gushing all over Facebook: And a personal favorite: Enough said. UPDATE:

Princeton Basketball – Living Up to the Hype
Wednesday, 02 February 2011
by Spencer Gaffney
When I came to Princeton, I thought one of my birthrights as a newly minted Tiger was a reliably awesome basketball team. After all, Princeton is the school of Bill Bradley! We’ve got a freakin’ offensive system named after us! But my freshman year (the 2008-09 season) the Tigers went a decidedly middling 12-14 –

Cornell’s Run to the (Bitter?)Sweet Sixteen
Monday, 22 March 2010
by Spencer Gaffney
Back in early February I wrote a blog post in response to Cornell Basketball’s ascension into the top 25 in the coaches’ poll. The gist of the argument was that while Cornell may have been enjoying temporary success the glory of their program it couldn’t hold a candle to the historically decorated Princeton Tigers. Fast

If you can’t get enough of the good old days of the Princeton Men’s Basketball team, here are some pictures (via Ivy-Style) of the team’s most famous member, Bill Bradley ’65, before he became a Rhodes Scholar, US Senator, loser to Gore, all around badass, etc.
What’s March Madness?
Monday, 30 March 2009
by Brian No
Once upon a time, as recently as this decade, the Princeton Men’s Basketball team ruled the Ivy League. But then we started to suck hardcore, perhaps most notably when, in 2005, Princeton scored just 21 points in the entire game against something called Monmouth University. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, it turned out that scoring

Who’s reading the Prince? Um, apparently hardcore professional gamblers
Friday, 06 March 2009
by Spencer Gaffney
It’s a cold Friday night in the dead of winter, and none of the major basketball conferences have games. What’s an addictive professional gambler to do? Well, according to this New York Times article, the answer can be found in a small cult of gamblers who bet on Ivy League basketball games religiously every Friday
