Preseason

The Ivy League media selected Princeton as the preseason favorite when 16 of 17 voting members (one voter selected Harvard) named Princeton first in the preseason poll.^[2] Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports also selected Princeton as his preseason choice with Harvard second, noting that Harvard had been his preseason favorite until the September 2012 Harvard cheating scandal that involved about 125 athletes and students ensnared Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry, leading to their withdrawal.^[3] Casey and Curry had been first-team and second-team All-Ivy selections for the 2011–12 Ivy League men's basketball season, respectively.^[4]

Princeton returned three of its five starters from the 2011–12 team: first-team All-Ivy senior forward Ian Hummer, senior center Brendan Connolly and junior guard T.J. Bray. Bray had been the team leader in assists, while Hummer's 515 points was the most by a Tiger in a single season since Bill Bradley.^[2] Princeton announced a quartet of captains for the first time in school history. Its trio of seniors, Hummer, Connolly, and Mack Darrow were joined by Bray as team quad-captains for the season.^[5] Princeton's most significant loss from the prior year was the graduation of shooting guard Doug Davis.^[3] Davis had finished as the second leading scorer in Princeton history.^[6] CBS' Goodman selected Hummer as his Preseason Ivy League Player of the Year.^[3]

Jimmy Sherburne took the entire school year off from the team and Princeton as he recuperated from a shoulder injury.^[5] Three freshmen: Hans Brase, Edward "Edo" Lawrence and Mike Washington, Jr. joined the team. 7-foot-1-inch (2.16 m) Lawrence is believed to be the tallest Princeton Tiger basketball player of all-time.^[5]

Princeton entered the season with 9 of the team's 14 players measuring 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) or taller.^[2] The team is scheduled to appear on NBC Sports Network three times, including the January 12 rivalry game against Penn. In addition, Princeton's March 1 contest with Harvard will be broadcast on ESPNU.^[7]

Schedule

When Yale defeated Princeton at Jadwin Gymnasium on February 9, it snapped a 21-game conference home winning streak, which was Princeton's longest since it won 26 consecutive home games from 1996-1999.^[8] The 2012–13 Tigers finished with a 17–11 (10–4) record and did not qualify for the post season.^[9]^[10] Princeton entered the final weekend of the season with three games remaining and a half game lead over Harvard.^[11] The team got swept in its two weekend games while Harvard won both its games to clinch the 2012–13 Ivy League title.^[12]
