BYU game will be challenging as they have 3 players who were top 100 high school players. They have two good 6'10" front court players plus a 6'8" senior power forward. They have two good players who completed their two year mission work and are coming back to play for BYU -- great way to rotate talent as well as two highly rated transfer students. Sophomore, 6'2" was second leading scorer as a frosh, 16 pts per game. Bart Torvik has BYU as #54 with Tigers as #31 but the game is at BYU.
Should be a good test for Princeton and the return of Brase will help off the boards as well as providing a big body assuming that he is healthy. Coach will have to make a decision if Brase or Caruso will come off the bench -- would not be surprised that it will be Caruso as he brings instant offense and Brase brings size. Everyone is back plus Brase which is difficult to believe so the Tigers have experience plus flexibility. There will be a lot of competition for playing time.
This non-conference game plus VCU, Cal and Monmouth will be very important games from a big picture standpoint. Great test for Bell, Brase, Cannady, Caruso, Cook, Miller, Stephens, Weisz and others. Would not be the least bit surprised if the Tigers respond well on the road as they did last year at Miami and Maryland but time will tell.
