I heard the announcers say earlier that Princeton and Georgetown both run the same offense, so we have experience dealing with what Princeton has to offer (and also implying that playing Princeton will help us when Georgetown comes up...).

When you watch Georgetown on offense, they might pass it 5 or 6 times without one guy dribbling. The ball moves much faster around the defense. You might see a couple passes without dribbling by Princeton, but count how many times their guys dribble it a couple times before they make their pass. Georgetown will challenge our defense much more than this, and that should be a concern because Princeton is staying pretty close.
 
I'm more concerned with how we will deal with the GT defense. They are very long, and run an active 2-3. We have had problems handling other teams' zones, and by the time we play them, they'll have plenty of experience under their belt.

JB said on the pre-game radio that there is no such thing as a Princeton offense. That basketball is all about trying to get good shots, no matter when you get them, or words to that effect.

And so will we.
