Peters 0-10 now. Not gonna lie, I thought that was finally going down.
Let's take it to the hoop this time!

I can't believe that just happened. Can't wait to rewatch without my stomach in knots.
That 1-3-1 is a lifesaver. Caden has stepped in for Tosan as the chaser up top and it still works like a charm.

Allocco is a great interview. They got a little home-cooking from the refs (travel call), and maybe they didn't deserve it, but that was a fun comeback.
Trying to figure out what Furman did defensively, and whether that is easily duplicated. Noticed that Allocco seemed to have a much bigger player guarding him, and was passing out of drives, didn't try the midrange game. From what I saw Furman didn't seem to be helping much on the drives, choosing to stay home to defend the three.

With Caden up top though, it hurts the defensive rebounding. They'll need to sort that out.

Tigers stole that game and never gave in despite the awful shooting from distance. I amend my earlier post … Allocco turned out to be a BIG factor in this game!

Coaching disasterclass from Furman. I hope they find a use for those three timeouts on the bus home.
Nonetheless, very gritty win for the Tigers. They never gave in and played physical until the end.

True. Huggins subbing in for Martini might help in those cases - he's got great length and athleticism. Surprised not to see him play tonight.

I'm probably being reductive, but I blame our flukey 3pt shooting: 4-31 on mostly open looks. Might be the most misses we've had in years. Furman forced some well-contested misses for sure, but our bullseye 3pt specialist went 0-10 (!!!) and only 2 were contested (and Blake usually hits those anyway).
I'm slightly encouraged that Blake's last miss was halfway down. No fear. I trust Mitch to decide whether Peters should still start, but it's time to cap his minutes at 20-25. He's way too good a shooter for this to be a mere slump. It's gotta be tired legs.

Furman tougher on D than we’ve seen this season. Their poor free throws were offset by their 3 pt accuracy. The only thing that kept us in the game was the disproportionate difference in TOs. I felt a little sympathy for Furman because they played a fine game and they were victim to a few questionable calls. However, a great comeback from a team that doesn’t give up. Nice post game interview with Mush.
GO TIGERS!

I thought I was watching the women play. When the shots weren't falling, relied on their D to allow them to hang around. Resilient to the end and never gave up. Certainly not pretty but a character builder. Pierce's rebound at the end and the kick out to Allocco was the play of the game for me.

Somewhat lost in Pierce and Allocco's heroics is Xaivian Lee leading all scorers with 24pts. He kept us afloat by simply attacking the rim and making his FTs.
Also, I would love to know how many times a D-I team missed 27 threes, scored less than 80 pts, and still won the game. Such a bizarre victory.

One way was scoring 28 points from Furman turnovers while yielding 4 from their own

I isolated myself from the news and just watched the replay. Wow! Talk about a team of destiny. That’s the first time in a long time that Princeton forced so many turnovers and I kept wondering when MH would call “form blazing sword”— whoops, I mean call for the 1-3-1. Not a possession too soon.
Furman ran better offense than Princeton most of the game, and obviously the three-point shooting was nightmarish, but enough hero ball from the Big Three scoring and rebounding down the stretch with that final awakening from the nightmare by Allocco—-wow again. Also, Allocco may have a future in broadcasting.

I was at the game; when Princeton was down by 10 or 11 with only a few minutes to go, we decided to leave. I turned around and said to a young Princeton fan and his dad: "Our leaving early probably insures a great Princeton comeback." We didn't check the score until around 8:30 and we could.not.believe.it! It honestly seemed impossible at the time. This could be an amazing season!!!
