Statistical Matchup

Instant Analysis

Arizona has tons of high-level athletes to throw at Tosa Evbuomwan and Princeton, with Oumar Ballo as a rim protector behind whichever Wildcats are tasked with guarding the one-time Ivy League Player of the Year. The Tigers lack secondary offensive creation options and will struggle to find open looks. Princeton doesn’t shoot the three quite well enough or often enough to offset that issue.
