Basketball: Offense/Defense

• The Tiger offense early on this season and this game is really looking leagues ahead of where it was last year at this point. But part of the fluidity has to do with the type of players we have out there, none of whom unfortunately are bangers inside. This is going to lead to a lot of inside baskets and offensive rebounds, at least in the non-league season. Once the Ivy season starts, Princeton's not going to be facing as many opponents who can outmuscle them/outjump them off the floor.
• Owings nice change-of-direction mid-air off a Conway dish for an layup to put Princeton up 11-6. Lots of missed layups last night, so good sign.
• Owings bangs a three from the corner to surpass his scoring total from last night (3 points) and put the Tigers up 14-8 with 13:30 to go. The shot came after 6'3" Lincoln Gunn blocked a jumper by a Keydet shooter to start a quasi-fast break.
