In response to welcometothejungle
Princeton received a #25 ranking in the Coaches Poll and they are close to several teams ranked just ahead of them. ESPN still has them a #6 seed in its latest bracketology rating.
The Tigers have a tough road game at Yale, #41 rpi, this weekend. It will be a quadrant 1 game with a significant impact as to the seed that they will receive. Yale has one of the top two point guards (senior) in the league plus a center Bella's height that can compete, twin sister of injured Tiger C. Yale has a high powered offense but not a great defense so it will be interesting to see who controls the tempo.
Tiger's point per game defense, #1 in country of 48.5 pts is almost 2 points lower than 2nd place Baylor. Baylor has a SOS rating of #46 vs. Princeton #95 and obviously plays tougher competition. The Tigers have a year-end projected rpi of #15 which is helped by the IL women having the best 8th conference --- Ivy men are 17th. Conference games are not hurting Princeton this year which is somewhat different than prior years.
