Where the extra half-level could come from:

Cannady going off at the same time that two or three other players have good scoring games.

More assisted buckets at the rim. We get tantalizing glimpses of interior passes and backdoors but I think there is room for more plays like that replacing some of the lower-percentage isos we get out of the driving game and some of the forced treys.

Two or three more transition baskets a game. I love the slower, grinding style that carried the Tigers to a 19-game winning streak but I think they could run out a few more times off a steal or DR if they are alert for it.

More offense from the bigs. When they are in there I think Miller, Gladson, and Brennan (remember him?) could be more involved as cutters, passers, and scorers, not simply screening and handing off.

More steals without fouling. In an MH podcast interview with Pete Carril before the conference season, Carril used as an example of his coaching philosophy of teaching intelligent discretion rather than fixed rules that he wanted his players to know how and when to reach in for the ball. This team has a lot of guys with long arms and quick hands and they often have a help defender in the vicinity of the ball. They do OK at forcing turnovers but I think they could get a couple more per game without sacrificing other aspects of their D. For sure, no single thing seems to guarantee Princeton gaining ground during a game as well as forcing turnovers.
