SPORTS

Men’s basketball 6-1 on tour of Spain
An end of summer trip to Spain proved bountiful for the men’s basketball team, which only lost once during its seven-game, 12-day tour of the country. Princeton took the court against seven local teams and played by the local rules, including utilizing a 24-second clock and playing three periods.

The tour marked the comeback of Andre Logan ’04, who missed much of last season because of a knee injury, and Spencer Gloger ’04, who had not played for the Tigers since the 1999-00 season after transferring to UCLA and then back to Princeton.

Gloger started strong, scoring 23 points in the second game of the tour, which the Tigers won 113-102 against Rayet Guadalajara in Siguenza, Spain. According to the athletics department, Princeton has not scored more than 100 points in a regular season game since the 1970-71 season against Yale.

Logan scored a basket late in the sixth game of the tour to give the Tigers a 65-63 win over Cornella. Sophomores Will Venable, who led the Tigers scoring in two games, and Judson Wallace, and Ray Robins ’03 also played key roles in Princeton’s victories, which saw contributions from most of the 11 players who made the trip. Freshmen guards Scott Greenman and Michael Kawalek did not travel with the team.

“We have guys that can make plays whether they’re in for 40 minutes or 40 seconds,” said Tiger coach John Thompson ’88 after the tour’s finale. "I have confidence in the guys that are in the game. I think that this group has a lot of confidence in each other and understands how they must play.”

In the only loss, Princeton fell behind 33-9 in the opening period to C.B. Tarragona, which went on to win 86-63. Practice begins October 15, and the season starts November 22-23 at the Sooner Invitational at Oklahoma as the Tigers open with UC-Irvine.

WBUD AM 1260 new radio home for Tigers
It’s a new frequency for Tiger sports.

Beginning with the September 21 football game at Lehigh, WBUD AM 1260 takes over as Princeton athletics flagship radio outlet. The move comes after the company that owns the school’s former flagship station WHWH began a realignment of its stations, according to the athletics department.

WBUD will be home to all of Princeton's football and men's lacrosse games and the primary outlet for men's basketball. Ed Benkin will be the play-by-play voice for Tiger football and men's lacrosse, while Tom McCarthy will do the play-by-play for men's basketball. Jerry Price, Princeton’s director of athletic communications, will serve as color commentator for all three sports.

All broadcasts can also be heard on the athletics department web page (www.goprincetontigers.com).

Athletics department announces bus trips to select road games

Former Tiger offensive linemen Ross Tucker ’01 generated plenty of ink this summer at the Washington Redskins training camp. The only steady performer on the offensive line this summer, Tucker ended up earning the starting left guard position just a year after he went undrafted by 31 NFL teams.

Tucker played in his first NFL on December 2, 2001, against the Dallas Cowboys and contributed to the Redskins special teams and as a reserve lineman last season. He is listed at 6’4” and 316 lbs. on the team’s roster.

Mike Bois ’97 joins men's hockey coaching staff
Mike Bois '97, a member of the 1995 Princeton men's hockey team that reached the ECAC finals, will be back behind the bench this season as an assistant coach with his former squad.

Bois returns to Princeton after taking a year off from coaching. He had served on head coach Len Quesnelle ’88's staff from 1999-2001. Bois, who studied economics, won Princeton's Hobey Baker Award in 1994 as the team's top freshman. In 95 career games, Boise scored 64 points (26 goals, 38 assists).

The Tigers open the season against the US under-18 national team on October 26. The regular begins on November 1, when North Dakota visits Princeton.
