For Men's Basketball, Sharpshooting Anchored Offense

NOTEBOOK: Hummer Does It All For Princeton
Princeton senior Ian Hummer sat for only three minutes in Friday night’s contest against Harvard. Two of those minutes were in the first half—if his opening period statistics were adjusted to put him on the floor for those 120 missed seconds, Hummer would have been just about one point short of a double-double before intermission. Instead, the forward went for eight points and eight rebounds in the first period, the latter figure already 2.4 boards better than his season average.

Men's Basketball Bests Brown, 65-47
For a majority of the first half, it wasn’t a question of who had more points, Harvard or Brown, but whether the Bears had more points or turnovers. It was the latter, but a Brown run midway through the second period enabled the Bears to close the lead to single-digits for the first time since the score was 11-2 less than six minutes into the contest. Though the Crimson would win the game, 65-47, Friday night at the Pizzitola Sports Center, its sizable advantage had to be regained in the last fourth of the contest.
