Princeton’s man defense is woeful. The few times MH has tried to trap and press this year it has worked. I don’t understand why coach is sticking with man defense.

42-42 at the half. Tigers shooting well (57%, 55% from 3, 83% from FT) but 9 turnovers against 1 for FDU.

Tied at 42 at the half. The Tigers have shot very well, 56.5% shooting including 6-11 on threes and 10-12 on free throws. The only problem on offense has been turnovers, with 9 first half turnovers leading to 10 FDU points. Meanwhile, the Tigers have only forced one turnover from FDU.

Nice start of 2nd half and Tigers go up 9. TE and Richmond working well together.

Solid 80-65 win for Princeton. The Tigers shot 11-24 from three (45.8%). The Tigers have several players who should be good three point shooters - Friberg, Schwieger, Langborg, DesRosiers, Wright - and they should get open looks with all of the attention drawn by Aririguzoh and Llewellyn. If that group can hit 35-40% from three, I think the Tigers can be a pretty good team.

Offense played well and the basketball Gods were helpful although the Tigers played down to out which gave them a significant number of 3 pt looks. Arirguzoh was a beast once again and he is pretty much a lock down defender on his man. Tigers did not play good defense in the 1st half and they simply do not get turnovers.

Once they get a consistent offensive strategy, they will also need to play far more intensively on the defensive end.

A good win bit it is after all FDU.

Nice to see the Tigers have more assists than turnovers, if only barely (16-15). I think this team has a lot of potential if they can tighten up their defense, cut down the turnovers, and make a reasonable percentage of their shots. As they learn to play together, Richmond and Tosan could be a tough combination inside and if Schwieger plays like he did today and Llewellyn plays within himself, they will surprise some people.

It's a long way down when a win against Fairly Ridiculous is a confidence booster.

Let's hope they keep on the uptrend vs the Gael's of Iona.

True, but I would like to see more assists from Jae-LLew.

Whew! We finally WON a game. It has been a depressing start to the season. I guess that we must look for progress this year with next season in mind ... although we will have to replace Aririguzoh. I don’t think that we can be a contender for the Ivy League Championship for at least two years. Thank God for the women and new coach Carla Berube!

When you win by 15 and you win second-chance points by 15 and you're Princeton, it might be difficult to project this overall effort as the future formula for success. But getting to 80 while turning the ball over at a high clip provides a clear improvement path on that end.

Still, Monmouth winning the turnover battle and going 8-15 from three is not encouraging. Got to pressure the perimeter and run them off the line.

On high ball screens, Aririguzoh usually does not hedge, which puts tremendous pressure on his teammate guarding the dribbler to fight through the screens. Typically a little space is created for the dribbler, which he uses to penetrate toward the middle. The floor is open to shoot, drive, or dish.

I assume Richmond has been told NOT to hedge. Is this is to protect against the pick and roll?

If he were to hedge, he is so large and quick, it would stop ball movement toward the middle of the floor. The dribbler might even be trapped.

I have always thought hedging is the preferred tactic.

I do recall Aririguzoh picking up some blocking/reaching fouls last year when hedging on ball screens, so it's possible the staff don't want him picking up cheap fouls on hedges this year

I’d rather they worked with him on doing it right rather than never hedging. And/or mix in some trapping of the dribbler off the ball screen.

I mostly feel bad for our guards having to fight through the high ball screens.

I agree that the Tiger's guards are regularly picked off and there have been problems in switching on D. With the Weisz/Cook teams, Miller was really good in jumping out and creating confusion. Richmond is not a natural in this role even with his quickness and arm span.

On the other side of the coin, Arirguzoh is an excellent one on one defender. I remember last year, Brodeur, even with his high level skills, could have auditioned for "Dancing with the Stars, but Richmond did not fall for the multiple moves or foul.

It is a big plus that he is such a strong one on one defender but is less skilled as to jumping out or switches.

Mitch needs to figure out a way to make it all work on D.

As Noah Savage pointed out, after all the fancy feints, eventually Brodeur always shoots with his right hand.

I appreciate the F-D announcers pointing out Richmond's rebounding prowess, especially on the offensive boards.

Richmond will be tested more this year as Brodeur is bigger and stronger. Fortunately, so is Richmond. May be a foul shooting contest.

FWIW, Fairleigh Dickinson just upset Bryant on the road in NEC play. Bryant was 3-1 against Ivies in their out of conference season with wins against Cornell, Columbia and @Dartmouth
