11/14/2011 4:02:41 PM

Ivy vs Public Ivy

11/14/2011 4:03:27 PM

can't think of a good reason why this would be on television, but i'm not going to argue it.

Princeton has some size (don't know if they're any good though), so they should present more of a challenge for our big men in the post game and rebounding.

11/14/2011 4:08:28 PM

remember when we are 1-5 all time vs princeton and that we also had a princeton style coach for the better part of a decade

please never refer to that tournament again. it makes me shudder that we would even consider that a quality win.

Yes, which is why I hate Princeton. also convinced me that our coach was no good when we couldnt be princeton with their own game and better players. I was at the last Princeton game in Raleigh.

11/14/2011 4:31:59 PM

the question is, how many staats battles will they have on their team?

11/14/2011 4:32:02 PM

^^^^Didn't we beat Villanova to win it?

Edit: Just checked, we beat Rider, S. Car, and Nova to win the 2007 Old Spice thing. Granted, it's not the best competition, but Nova was ranked #19 at the time.

i mean this year, should be an absolute knockout win that they won't forget.

incoming ncstate shit where we win or lose a nailbiter. NOPE NOT THIS YEAR. I TAKE IT BACK

our schedule is pretty tough so in the long run this game is not too bad. The key compared to last year is get up and stay up big, and don't let a team like this make a game of it.

Lets drop a hundy on them smart asses!!

If you're referring to Herb's NIT game at Reynolds (year before RBC opened), we didn't run a Princeton offense. We only started that stuff when Larry Hunter was added to the staff.

11/14/2011 4:52:17 PM

I hope we victor.

11/14/2011 4:54:36 PM

Well, its been a while, but I thought Herb always ran a modified Princeton style game...

But I just did a search, and if you believe Herb, it was only in his last year. Maybe I am just remembering the boring as shit to watch basketball and lumping it in with the princeton style.

Classmate of mine up here in Philly went to Princeton. I would like to be able to talk shit to him when I see him on Thursday in our internal med class. He's pretty cool actually. He's not a nerd, but every now and then he can definitely fit the preppy stereotype associated with Ivy League schools.

More shit talking opportunities for me include Syracuse, Clemson, Maryland, FSU, Vandy, Indiana, Virginia, VT, and potentially Texas if the cards fall right.

I will be at the Legends Classic Sat with a UT alum. Hopefully both her Longhorns & State win so that we can exact revenge on Rick Barnes and I can talk shit, haha

There are some UNC & Duke alums here too, but I can only talk shit to them in football usually

kind of tempted to fly to new york to attend this weekend. flight from clt is only 250 and tickets are only $25 each session.

i predict a close game until the last 5 minutes

11/16/2011 10:24:16 AM

OR

a not-so-close game until the last 5 minutes

11/16/2011 10:31:37 AM

Man I would love to rub that in peoples faces here at UT if we did beat them. But, unfortunately nobody here cares about basketball.

11/16/2011 10:39:49 AM

In a sweet change of plans... my seats shall now be awesome, rather than shitty.

in loving memory of the slow-tempo makes sure to pass 100x then shoot with < 2 seconds on the shotclock:

You mean:

Herb's teams looked like potted plants on the floor.

11/16/2011 10:58:23 AM

I mean, I'm not saying I want him back or anything...but we were better than 90% of teams that try to run a more up-tempo game at the time.

How'd I know that a game against Princeton would revive this argument?

11/16/2011 11:03:02 AM

Princeton is likely the toughest team we've faced yet. We have a history of playing really poorly against smart teams.

However, I like our chances a lot this year.

Offensive: We've really moved the ball well so far and that bodes well against a team that isn't very athletic. We should be able to get to the line a ton in this game and I'd expect the perimeter to be open as they pack it in down low. FT's and open 3's is usually a recipe for success.

Defensive: Princeton has turned the ball over a LOT (nearly worst in the nation) but they're also a great three point shooting team. This is interesting because the reason we sucked defensively under Lowe is because we never forced turnovers and we typically struggled guarding the perimeter. I'd expect us to create turnovers but have trouble guarding the threes. If we lose it's because we didn't succeed at either.

Rebouding: Princeton is a prety bad rebounding team so we should be able to hammer them on the boards. Usually three point shooting teams have a lot of long rebounds and we have athletic perimeter players to chase those down too.


Tournament Implications: It's a must win. We're looking like a .500 conference team so we've got to win all of these type games plus 1-2 of the high profile games (Cuse, Vandy, Stanford, Indiana)

11/16/2011 11:08:05 AM

I expect my favorite player to set up some more earth shattering screens and pull down a lot of extra boards.

I expect him to do nothing offensively and come away with <5 points, all scored off free throws.
