Coach of the Week: Mitch Henderson, Princeton Tigers

How was Princeton going to follow up its stunning Sweet 16 run as a 15-seed in the 2023 NCAA tournament? Especially without first-team All-Ivy selection Tosan Evbuomwan, starting guard Ryan Langborg, who transferred to Northwestern, and fellow starter Keeshawn Kellman?

Henderson moved three of last season's rotation pieces -- Xaivian Lee, Blake Peters and Zach Martini -- into the starting lineup and, so far, has put more of a focus on the team's perimeter play.

The Tigers opened the season with a 68-61 win over Rutgers in Trenton, New Jersey, giving them an early edge for title of the best team in New Jersey. They backed that up by going to Long Island and grabbing a road win over Hofstra, last season's CAA regular-season co-champion. In the two games, 44.4% of the team's points came off 3s, including 12 made 3s against Hofstra. Henderson doesn't have an Evbuomwan on this year's team, but he has retooled the squad for another NCAA tournament run.
