Princeton beats Rutgers and their two “top 3 draft picks” Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper. But I’m sure not one Princeton player will be in the NBA.

As Jimmy Chitwood says......"You Love to See It". The upset and not the lack of respect.

I take back the nice things I said about Rutgers earlier in the season. All of their White players have been sent to the bench.

For Princeton, I’d say that their 2 best players have an outside shot at the NBA. Caden Pierce (Alec’s brother) and Xaivian Lee (Korean) are the top players in the Ivy League. I think either could “transfer up” to a bigger program if they wanted.

Steve Pickiell is a very solid basketball coach who has already "won more with less" at Rutgers. His teams used to overcome lousy shooting with suffocating defense and deliberate tempo. Whatever stars aligning plus shenanigans necessary to get his two "blue chippers" onto the team this year is not going to be sustainable going forward. I hope he learns a lesson this season.
 
Duke's Cooper Flagg having his best all-around game as freshman scoring 24 points, 6 assists, 4 steals, 3 rebounds and a blocked shot as 4th ranked Duke handled Virgina Tech 88-65.
Freshman Kon Knueppel had 13 points.
 
Purdue beating Rutgers at Rutgers. Purdue with multiple Whites in their rotation. Rutgers features Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, the two consensus top 3 draft picks along with Cooper Flagg. I would think if you had 2 of the top 3 players in the NCAA you would have a better record than 8-7. But, that upside.
 
Duke and Cooper Flagg playing Miami tonight at 9 on ESPN if anyone's interested. Flagg alone is worth watching. Knueppel not bad either.

Knueppel 18 first half points! Flagg only took 5 shots scoring 8 points, 6 assists and 3 boards.

I'm happy for Kon Knueppel thus far. It's not easy being on a team where everyone is overshadowed by the Number 1 Draft Pick. The media, fans, etc. all talk about him and they should. However, an NBA Talent like Kon Knueppel should get far more praise. He needs to help his draft stock with some huge games in my opinion.
