Princeton Offense Looks to Bounce Back

Princeton’s offense was a major problem on Friday night against Brown and they are going to look to bounce back in a big way here. Princeton scored only 56 points against Brown and that led to the 14-point defeat. Dalen Davis had a strong game putting 15 points, two rebounds, and two assists, but he was the only real bright spot for the offense. Two games ago against Penn, the offense was able to secure the 61-59 victory. The defense is going to need to step up in a major way again here. 

Princeton currently sits with a 16-7 record overall.  Princeton is averaging 75.6 points while their defense is giving up 71 points per game. The offense is ranked 143rd in the league while the defense is ranked 165th. They are averaging 61.09 field goals attempted per game which is 68th in the league. They are averaging 28.64 three-point attempts per game, which is 21st in the league. Xaivian Lee is averaging 16.2 points while shooting 42.5 percent from the field and 33.6 percent from behind the three-point line.

All five starters finished with at least 10 points. Two games ago against Cornell, the offense was impressive scoring 103 points and that was enough for the comfortable victory.

Princeton vs Yale Prediction

Princeton and Yale are both elite offensive teams and both are going to have no issue running up the score here. Princeton is averaging 75.6 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Yale’s offense is also elite averaging 83.5 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score also. Neither team is going to play a lick of defense, and the over is going to end up cashing here. This is one of my favorite plays on the board.
