Tigers do have to play just a leetle bit of defense though.

Great hustle and effort by Wright but the VCU athleticism claimed another victim there.
Really been the story tonight--has bailed them out on both ends.

Langborg was open and not seen at first, but managed to hit a cutting Llewellyn for a hoop, then later hit another open three when VCU had extended to a ten-point lead. Look for Langborg!

Princeton has them right where they want them. Time for a 3 point flurry to make it nail biting time down the stretch.

Tigers are not taking advantage of VCU being loose with the ball. Looks like it would be worth it for them to press a little. Their "normal" defense just isn't doing anything to stop these guys.

Interesting screed about the facilities and program at VCU, but no mention of class time (not to sound too snarky).

I'd say that the vast majority of the 3s taken this game by both teams have been pretty open looks.
They're there, which is why Princeton should be able to tighten things up here.

The 1-3-1 forced a VCU stop, but VCU corraled the rebound and extends the possession.

Finally, the 1-3-1 appears and looks pretty good. Can't let VCU steal the ball after rebounding it, though.

Langborg again! He is way more open out there than his teammates.

Gotta stick with the 1-3-1. It at least gives them a bit of a chance on D. Langborg is on fire!

It prevents those acrobatic drives down the lane, for sure. Nearly resulted in a turnover even before the missed shot, too.

Langborg again on the backdoor goaltend, although that was almost another great play thwarted by VCU athleticism.

Getting absolutely destroyed on the boards. 1-3-1 forcing misses but VCU getting the cutbacks every time.

Llewellyn really being bothered by the aggressive on-ball D by the VCU big guards. Having trouble handling the ball against their ball pressure, which is putting the offense a bit out of sync.

VCU coach during the timeout clearly did not explain to his team how to break the 1-3-1. They are dribbling right into it and surprisingly not being effective.

1-3-1 with Tosan up top leads to mismatches on the boards. Need to gang rebound.

As long as were within 9 with 40 seconds to play, we're ok.

Yeah, they are afraid to throw that diagonal pass over the top, probably because they are generally so turnover-prone. Let's make them pass the ball a lot and not do so much dribbling.
