IN PRINT: Princeton Basketball Season Preview @ Ivy Hoops Online
Tuesday, 25 October 2011
by Spencer Gaffney
We’re only a couple weeks away from the start of the basketball season, sports fans! With Doug Davis’ buzzer beater now firmly in the rearview mirror, what’s the year going to look like for the Princeton Tigers? This season I’m going to be covering the Princeton basketball team for IvyHoopsOnline, and this week I take

Why Sydney Johnson Left (And Why I Would Have, Too)
Tuesday, 12 April 2011

I hate Lane Kiffin. I disliked him at Tennessee, but ever since he jumped ship after a year of SEC football and left for the greener pastures of USC and the PAC-10, I’ve loathed Lane Kiffin. To me, he symbolizes everything that’s wrong with coaches in NCAA sports — phony smiles, good haircuts, no loyalty,

NCAA Tournament(s) Preview!
Thursday, 17 March 2011

Now that you’ve watched Doug Davis’ shot from a dozen different angles (instruct me in the Douglas!) and contemplated the cool name of Ian Hummer ’13 (objective view: fairly cool, but nothing to write home about), it’s time to get serious. NIT? Thanks, but no thanks. CBI? Don’t call us, we’ll call you. We’re talking

Various Perspectives on “The Shot”
Monday, 14 March 2011

More than a day has passed and I still find myself watching and re-watching Doug Davis’s buzzer-beater in some kind of enraptured tigerblooded trance. I quickly tired of the original version, though, and hungered for more. Fortunately the Internets are very good at indulging this kind of inane curiosity; tons of alternate angles cropped up
Princeton’s Rival? This Season, Look No Further Than Harvard
Thursday, 10 March 2011
by Spencer Gaffney
Classic Ivy League sports debate that no one actually plans on answering: Who is Princeton’s rival? Some Tiger fans cling firmly to the geographical convenience of the supposed Penn-Princeton rivalry. Back in 2006, a columnist from the Daily Pennsylvanian noted that the rival stems almost exclusively from the two schools’ dominance of Ivy League basketball. But

The Jadwin Effect

Pop quiz, sports fans: What are the only three DI schools whose men’s and women’s basketball teams are still undefeated at home? 1. Duke (home of the reigning NCAA men’s champions and a damn good women’s program) 2. McNeese State University (the Cowboys and Cowgirls, terrors of the Southland conference, collegiate home of Joe Dumars)

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 –

Lady Tigers Really, Really Good at Basketball
Monday, 22 February 2010
by Spencer Gaffney
Well, after all the excitement around the Princeton men’s basketball team possibly going undefeated in the Ivy League, we lost to Cornell and Brown in a span of three short games. There are still a few games left in the season, but Princeton has been all but eliminated from winning the Ivy League title. But

ESPN’s Pat Forde Thinks Princeton Basketball Could Go Undefeated!*
Tuesday, 09 February 2010
by Spencer Gaffney
Pat Forde, ESPN.com columnist, actually mentioned Princeton in his most recent edition of the men’s basketball column “Forde Minutes”! Not only that, he thinks we could go undefeated this year! Well, only kinda sorta. He thinks we could go undefeated in Ivy League play, since, at 4-0, it’s still technically possible. But we’d have to

Cornell Basketball in Top 25 (Princeton Still Better Historically)
Tuesday, 02 February 2010
by Spencer Gaffney
After the boys from Ithaca crushed their Crimson cousins Saturday night by a score of 86-50, Cornell moved into the top 25 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches’ poll for the top teams in college basketball. This is a big deal for Ivy League basketball. The Ancient Eight haven’t had a ranked team since back when
