Stephens drives and gets blocked, Phills for a runout dunk. Bell mid-range jumper goes in but then Bruner easily gets to the rim for a dunk. Stephens trey goes in.
Defense picks up and gets a TO, then Bell assists a Stephens layup. Down 21-23.

Copeland misses his turnaround, Yale gets two ORs on the same possession next time, ball goes out of bounds off Weisz for an endless possession to continue. Stephens late on rotation, Miller has to foul putting Yale in the bonus. FT makes it 21-24 with 4:41 left.

Miller tips in a Stephens missed trey, then shuts down Downey's attempt, Weisz makes a great no-look jumping skip pass to Cook who nails the trey for Princeton's first lead

Tigers go 1-3-1 for first time. Oni swishes a trey. Stephens shoots from behind a screen, misses, but Cannady draws a foul on the OR attempt, then nails one of his pretty treys.

Great Tiger D leads to a bad, late in the clock jumper, and Cook gets the rebound. Stephens backs down a little guy (Yates) and scores. Downey ORs over Cannady and scores. Yale gets a stop, ball stolen from Dailier with Gladson's help. Tigers hold for last shot, Gladson misses a wide-open trey.
PU goes into the half up 31-29.

PU should be pretty happy to be up at halftime. They gave up 8 ORs to Yale, a trend that will have to stop going forward, and a three or four easy drives to the rim. Also, the TO battle is in favor of Yale (4-5), which you would expect Princeton to win based on the whole season, although Yale did a good job yesterday holding onto the ball vs. Harvard.
Three-point D has been OK, holding Yale 3-9 without too many more chances for the Eli to even get a look. Tigers are 4-12, which could be better but is probably good enough to win.

Downey gets ball low, it's knocked out of his hands, Dailier misses a three but gives up the OR again. Dailier hits the trey after the double-team on Downey. Miller is double-teamed, the ball is out-of-bounds to Princeton, then the Tigers get bailed out on a shot-clock violation by a super-late foul call of Oni hitting Stephens's arms as the buzzer sounds.
Refs check the clock, decide that the foul was before it hit zero, so Stephens goes to the line, hits two FTs. Up 33-32.

Fantastic Cook pass in transition to a cutting Stephens for a layup. Terrific help D by Miller leads to another runout, Weisz passes up a wide-open three to pass to Cook in the corner for a wide-open three, splash!
Jones calls timeout to regroup his reeling troops.

Yale, down six, gets another OR and follow by San Downey. Got to screen him out. Cannady responds with a trey, pushing the lead to 7.
Downey with a hook against the soft double-team. Stephens powers through the lane with a spin move for a layup, and the foul on Downey hitting him on the arm. Completes the three-point play.

Copeland hits a step-back three with one second on the shot clock, Bruner rejects Cook on a drive, Copeland misses a wide-open trey. Stephens shows him how it's done for PU off a Weisz assist. Up 8 with 14:22 to go.
Stephens commits his first foul.

Nice deflection for a turnover, Weisz misses the three, Copeland breaks Bell's ankles but misses the shot, and Weisz drives on Dailier for a 49-39 lead.
Reynolds misses inside, Stephens holds the ball too much on an iso, Copeland pulls up for the 15-footer.

Cannady with the next-area-code trey. Okay, maybe just NBA range.

Up 10, with the ball, 10:00 to go. Cannady misses a fadeaway trey but it's close. Phills left open, hits a trey. Weisz blows a bunny, gets ball back, kicks to Cook for the trey.

Gladson sets a great screen, catches the ball outside and knocks down the trey! Copeland drives for a layup. Cook misses a trey long. Copeland with another circus drive and layup.
Tigers slow it down, miss shot at the end of the clock, Weisz with a great interception and streak for a layup after a pump fake against collapsing Yale defenders. Up 11 with 6:26 left.

Great defensive stand forces bad Yale shot against the clock out of a timeout. Cannady fumbles the ball, grabs it and puts up a quick trey, which misses. PU ends up retaining possession. Stephens cans the three.
Weisz commits his third foul and Phills hits two FTs. Up 63-51 with 5:17 left. Just a few more good possessions and the Tigers will be in the NCAAs.

Cook's lefty runner, underhand scoop moving parallel to the baseline with four on the shot clock puts Princeton up by 13, but another shooting foul gives back one FT.
Missed Bell trey late in clock, then Downey fouled at other end. 3:57 left.
Princeton going to its slowdown-with-a-lead offense and it really does work to shorten the game. But I like it better when those shots go in at the end of the possession.

So far Stephens is perfect from the field in the second half and the rebounding numbers have equalized. Weisz is not shooting great but playing a heck of a floor game.
Downey misses the front end of his one-and-one, PU goes with small lineup. Whoever Downey covers looks to drive, in this case Stephens, who gets to the line shooting two, making zero.

Oni wide-open for three but misses. He hasn't had many attempts against the Princeton D, which has cued on him. Weisz misses a drive, then Yale bleeds off too much clock before Cannady fouls (it would have been Weisz's fifth foul). Two FTs go down for Yale.
Up 11 with the ball under two minutes. Shot clock violation, 1:39 left to play.

Weisz commits a dumb foul on the perimeter and fouls out. Aaron Young comes in for more ball handling. Dailier hits two FTs, so lead is 9 with 1:31 left.
Could be interesting ending without Weisz on the floor. Must get it to Cannady early and often so they have to foul him.

And Princeton gets the ball in against Yale's pressure to Cannady, and he's fouled but PU still not in the bonus. Second throw-in sends a deflection out of bounds, officials poring over monitor to see who has possession. Should be PU from my view of the tape, refs agree.
Throw-in from the side, Bell hits Cannady and he's fouled by Oni, now goes to the line for the one-and-one. He's automatic again, lead back to 11 with 1:28 left.
Yale missed trey, Stephens rebound, ball to Cannady, he's fouled, hits two again.
