It was Seljas who hit the 3, but Bryant was clutch on the 4 free throws. 25-27 from the line as a team. That bodes well for us. Does anyone know what the Princeton coach was so upset about after the 3 that he managed two Ts and an ejection?
That makes 3 of us. I think Bryant hit one then popped in 4 free throws but was that before during or after his ejection?

Amir Bell, their lone returning starter, scored 22 points in the first game but was held to 2 points on 1 of 9 from the field. Who held him to that!? Was it by committee or is there a defensive super star on the team.

Salsas hit the 3. Princeton coach was tee'd up 2x immediately after the 3 and therefore automatically ejected. As a result of the technicals, Bryant got 4 free throws making all 4. Huge swing in the game.

He (Princeton coach) was interviewed and said "something felt different about a call" (it could have been the non-foul call as the shot clock expired on the previous possession) and "I got emotional". He never said what got under his skin.

Thanks again Byufan. Looking at this you'd think they'd lost instead of getting a big road win.

That confirms it was an ugly game. Average PER of 7.31 when the 10 year team average is 9.32.

Now for redemption! Payback time for UT Arlington

Here is the PER for the Princeton game:

After tomorrow's game I'll post a summary of everyone's average PER so far.

I'm wondering the same thing

HArdnett had a rough night. Hopefully he learns and forgets. Good player (I think) had some tough calls against him and some ugly turnovers.

I feel like this is exactly the kind of game our team would've lost last year. They would lose their nerve and panic late in games.

It wasn't perfect, but they kept their cool, played good defense (!!!) and closed out Princeton. I thought it was over after their coach was ejected. It had been a back and forth game until that point (15 or 16 lead changes at that point). I think it was Bryant that hit a three, their coach gets ejected and Bryant sinks all 4 free throws. 7 point swing right there and I figured Princeton was done. Credit to them for rallying back and keeping it close.

Good team win against a solid road opponent.
BYU winning in the PIT (exhibition) and against a good Princeton team on the road is a great sign for this team.
