The biggest weekend ever
Welcome to your personal headquarters for the biggest weekend in Princeton athletics we can recall. As Tiger teams do battle on the fields and in the stadiums, reporters from The Daily Princetonian will be there, delivering the results straight to you on this first-ever 'Prince' Sports blog.
First and foremost in the minds of most Tiger sports fans, the football team heads to New Haven, Conn., on Saturday for a 12:30 p.m. matchup with the Bulldogs. In a rematch of last season's game -- which finished in a heartbreaking late-game collapse -- the contest is the last big stop in Princeton's quest for its first Ivy League title in over a decade.
While busloads of Princetonians converge on New Haven, the men's basketball team opens its season at the BCA Classic tournament in Columbus, Ohio. Facing Loyola (Chicago), with a potential second-round contest against host team No. 4 Ohio State looming large, controversial head coach Joe Scott and his squad will have to find a way to hit their stride early this season and reverse a trend of poor starts. (Read our special basketball season preview here.)
Closer to home, the field hockey team -- riding an undefeated Ivy League season -- hosts No. 3 Old Dominion in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. Consistently one of the best teams on campus, these Tigers will hope to topple the Monarch team that trounced them, 5-0, early this season.
