Koncz hustle

• Koncz dives on the ball to force a jump ball and earn Princeton the possession.
• On offense, it is Koncz, Schroeder and Strittmatter doing the creating while Finley and Gunn look very tentative. As many Tigers looked during the team's struggles last year, they seem more worried about making the smart pass than taking the smart shot when it presents itself.
• Savage and Buffmire in. But will they stay? This is the most veteran lineup the Tigers have employed all evening: Koncz, Savage, Buffmire, Strittmatter, Schroeder. They proceed to turn the ball over.
• Under nine minutes remaining and the offensive stagnancy continues. Tom Levin hits a wide-open three for Loyola to give them the first double-digit lead of the game, 46-34.
• Strittmatter answers with authorative drive to the basket and soft kiss off the glass for a layup ... then allows J.R. Blount to drive right past him for a layup on the other end.
