Notes
– Flato was the game’s only double-digit scorer with 12 points, despite a pedestrian 4-of-11 shooting night.
– Koncz came off the bench to lead Princeton with nine points, though all of his scoring came in the first 10 minutes as he connected on his first three three-point attempts. However, he seemed to wear down offensively as the game wore on, missing his final four shots — all of which came from outside the arc.
– Yale was 14 of 26 (53.8 percent) from inside the arc, while Princeton was just 3 of 16 (18.8 percent) from two-point range.
– The Tiger forwards struggled with their shooting as Conway and Luke Owings combined to go just 3 of 17 from the field on the evening.
– Princeton had a surprisingly productive offensive rebounding effort, grabbing 32.4 percent of their own misses against the nation’s top defensive rebounding team. The bad news was that the Tigers allowed the Bulldogs to rebound at a 38.1-percent clip at the other end.
– The loss drops Princeton to 0-3 in the Ivy League for the first time in school history.
– The Tigers will look to break into the Ivy win column when they travel to Brown (6-13, 1-4 Ivy) for 7:00 pm ET tipoff on Saturday, February 3, while Yale welcomes Penn (12-7, 3-0 Ivy) at 6:00 pm ET in a game televised on CN8.
