ANALYSIS: Princeton is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They have a record of 16-14 and are ranked 146th overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #3 team (out of eight) in the Ivy League (average ranking 181.4).
Princeton will likely rely on their offense more than anything else to win games. The team is ranked 112th in offensive efficiency and scores more than 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Princeton lives and dies by the three-ball and will launch from long-distance early and often. The team ranks ninth in ratio of three-point attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to shoot from long, they have the ability to punish you for it, too. Ranked in the top-100 in three-point shooting percentage, they make approximately 36.7% of their three-point attempts vs. AO. Princeton also has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 34th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 64.3% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. The squad likewise lands in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage and makes good on about 46.2% of their total attempts vs. AO. If Princeton does have a glaring weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's difficulties in getting off a sufficient number of shots each possession. The squad has a field goal attempt rate of just 73.47 vs. AO, which ranks worst in college basketball.
Princeton doesn't perform as well defensively as they do offensively. The team is ranked 207th in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Princeton is extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #349 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.26 vs. AO.
Princeton has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked second in positive momentum.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.

When playing squads that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 34.47%, Princeton performs above average 11% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 70% of the time.
