Couldn’t agree more, todd.

Highlights and Post Game Video of Princeton’s Game 1 Loss to BYU

As you might expect from a Princeton team, you saw good ball movement, disciplined play from 4 senior forwards, balanced scoring (four in double-figures…just like last year), and a squad – led by 6’1” Guard Devin Cannady – that on this particular night – showed love for the 3-ball. In fact, 35 of their 72 attempts were from behind the arc with Cannady himself tossing up 10 and hitting 4 – a bit below his impressive .456 mark of a year ago. That said, The Tigers couldn’t stop BYU’s 6’10” forward Eric Mika who had 26 points and 18 boards. In fact, Princeton was out-rebounded 52-37 and was limited to just 12 second chance points – all facets of the game that I’m sure caught the eyes of Tim, Matt and Pat over the past two days.

I’m expecting Lehigh to come of the gate strong and earn its 9th home-opener in the last 11 years. After two disappointing setbacks (could you image being 2-0 with w’s over Xavier and Yale?!), this is one we need. We don’t want to be known as the best 0-3 squad in the nation.
