In response to SRP
I was not a fan of a fast tempo game but after watching the replay, I can understand why Mitch took advantage of Brown's poor defense and score at a very high percentage by attacking and being aggressive. My pre-game concern with a fast pace is that is Brown's style of play by going up and down the court. Even with Princeton's poor defense, Brown shot incredibly and still, the Tigers have a 4pt lead with 30 seconds to go. The additional danger of fast paced games is foul trouble and the Tigers cannot afford to lose minutes from the big 3.
Mitch needs to get the boys back to contesting every single shot like they did when they got on a run. Arirguzoh on the floor for a lot more minutes needs to be done in my judgement as he attempts to contest every shot plus he can man up down deep better than Much. Keep Much as PF.
Tigers need to have a Monmouth moment like the last two years. I suspect that they will be playing defense very hard on Tuesday. The irony where they may miss Cook, Weisz and Miller is on defense. Cook gave them three elite defenders on the floor with Stephens and Bell -- Weisz played tough interior D last year. Not the same team this year but ....
