Princeton was not lucky in that game. They probably should have scored 100 points. That was a complete and total ass-whipping that was much worse than the score indicated. They completely dissected Mizzou on every offensive possession, and Mizzou could never break them down in the half court. They looked like a mid-level SOCON team on offense --no ball movement, forced threes, and they kept giving Princeton the single most efficient look in basketball on every possession--a wide open corner three.
Princeton played well, but Mizzou probably would have lost to anyone else who played today, including Furman. That was a heinous performance.
