The last time we saw Princeton they were preparing to play Harvard in the 2020 Ivy League Championship with the hopes of reaching their first NCAA Tournament appearance since their perfect Ivy season in 2016-2017. Of course, the conclusion of the 2020 season never happened and the Tigers sat out the 2020-2021 campaign as well. Now Princeton will get back into action and they should be ready to compete for a conference title.

Projection:
The star of the show is Jaelin Llewellyn. Two years ago Llewellyn led the Tigers with 15.3 points and added 2.3 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals. After two great years, Llewellyn is ready to garner some national attention. If he can start knocking down three-pointers more consistently, Llewellyn will be eyeing Ivy Player of the Year accolades as well. Ethan Wright is back after starting to have a breakout 2019-2020 campaign when he averaged 7.2 points per game. Tosan Evbuomwan had a promising freshman campaign, averaging 3.9 points and 1.8 rebounds. Drew Friberg is the big man who can stretch the defense with his outside shooting. The 6-7 senior knocked down a team high 52 three-pointers and also led the Tigers with 33 steals. Ryan Langborg spent most of his freshman year as a shooter off the bench and he is ready to at least continue that roll. Coach Mitch Henderson has a large group of newcomers spanning two years. There are a number of less experienced returning players as well. As long as Princeton has a few of those players ready to add depth, this is a group that can return to the Ivy League Tournament with an opportunity to reach the NCAA Tournament.
