ANALYSIS:
Princeton has a fairly solid squad that likely falls within the top quartile of all teams in college basketball this year. Ranked 73rd overall (out of 362) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 24-5. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of eight) in the Ivy League (average ranking 186.8).

The primary strength for Princeton this year is offense. The team is ranked 33rd in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 115 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Princeton is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 79.9% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked fourth nationally in free throw percentage. Princeton also lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks fifth in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. When it comes to actually making their three-point attempts, the squad shoots a so-so 35.2% from beyond the arc vs. AO. If Princeton does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties obtaining and converting second-chance opportunities from offensive rebounds. The squad has a second-chance conversion percentage of just 2.9% vs. AO, which ranks third-worst in the nation.

Though they're not quite as efficient defensively as they are offensively, Princeton still does OK when the opposition has possession of the ball. The team ranks 146th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 104 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Princeton does a pretty solid job avoiding careless fouls and minimizing opponents' opportunities from the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 22.22 vs. AO, they are currently rated 29th in the country in that category. If Princeton does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's unwillingness to take risks in order to score fast points off of the opposition's turnovers. The squad only has a rating of 8.61 in potential points scored off of steals vs. AO, which ranks 36th-worst in the college game.
