Princeton’s offense isn’t what it used to be, as the Tigers have switched to a more conventional style

"We were playing the more traditional version of the Princeton offense three, four years ago," said Princeton Coach Sydney Johnson, a player on the Tigers' team that beat UCLA. "I thought it was best suited for the team. We wanted to control tempo. We wanted great possessions. Quite frankly, we weren't able to defend as well."

UK Coach John Calipari noted Monday how the perception of Princeton needs to change.

"They can run back cuts," he said, "but they also do a lot of post-up basketball. They'll do pick-and-roll basketball. So it's not just straight Princeton."

Leading rebounder Kareem Maddox has taken seven three-point shots. Center Brendan Connolly hasn't taken one.

"They do some of it," Calipari said of the Princeton style. "But they open up and go. Their big men are not three-point shooters like Princeton's normal big men are. ... They muscle you. They're athletic and they're long. ...They're good in their way."

Ohio State is the No. 1 overall seed in the 2011 NCAA Tournament and will be placed in the East Region.

Joining the Buckeyes No. 1 seeds is Kansas in the Midwest, Pittsburgh in the Southeast and Duke in the West.

Pitt is the only No. 1 seed to not win their conference tournament, losing to eventual champion Connecticut in the quarterfinals.

San Diego State, North Carolina, Notre Dame and Florida are the No. 2 seeds, while Syracuse, Purdue, Connecticut and BYU are the No. 3 seeds. Kentucky, Louisville, Texas and Wisconsin are the No. 4 seeds.

Kansas and Duke were also No. 1 seeds in the 2010 NCAA Tournament, while Ohio State was a No. 2 and Pitt was a No. 3.

The Final Four will be held in Houston on April 2nd and 4th.

Princeton's Douglas Davis hit a leaning jump shot with 2.8 seconds remaining to give the Tigers a 63-62 victory over Harvard and a trip to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2004.

“I got a good screen from [sophomore forward] Will Barrett, and I had been warned that they were going to deny me the ball, but I was able to get open,” Davis said. “I took a couple dribbles, I was able to fade, it felt good and it went in.”

The victory ends a seven-year drought for Princeton and brings the senior class full circle. In its freshman season, the Class of 2011 was part of a 6-23 season, the worst finish in Princeton history.

Keith Wright of Harvard was named Ivy League Player of the Year for the 10-11 season.

Seaon McGonagill of Brown was named Rookie of the Year and Kareem Maddox of Princeton won Defensive POY.

Joining Wright and Maddox on the All-Ivy First Team is Noruwa Agho (Columbia), Greg Mangano (Yale) and Zach Rosen (Penn).
