Bradley vs. Princeton is a good matchup for BU. Princeton was 19-11 last year (17-11 vs. D1), and they were 8-6 and tied for 3rd place in the Ivy League. They ended with a NET rank of 166.
They lost their top 3 scorers from last year's team- Stats-

Princeton's 2025-26 roster doesn't appear to have a lot of size.
Their 2025-26 roster does not show any incoming freshmen, and currently shows only 10 players, 7 guards and 3 forwards-
The 3 forwards they have are 6'9" sophomore CJ Happy (5.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg last year), 6'8" junior Jacob Huggins (2.1 ppg and 1.1 rpg last year), and 6'7" sophomore Malik Abdullahi (4.3 ppg and 2.7 rpg last year).
Top returning scorer is guard 6'0" junior Dalen Davis from Chicago Whitney Young HS. He averaged 9.2 ppg, 2.1 rpg, and 1.6 apg last season.
Princeton also features a player that Bradley offered out of high school, Jack Stanton. He is a 6'2" shooting guard from Downers Grove North HS. He averaged 2.5 ppg and 0.8 rpg, and 0.2 apg in 7.7 minutes of playing time.
Princeton has 5 freshmen committed who do not appear on their current 2025-26 roster page-
6'5" shooting guard Jake Sussberg
6'6" shooting guard Sebastian Whitfield
6'6" small forward Jacob Hammond
6'8" forward Landon Clark
6'9" forward Cash McSweeney

A key player from last year's team, Caden Pierce, a 6'7" forward from Glenbard West HS (averaged 11.2 ppg and a team-leading 7.2 rpg) would have been a senior this season, but he has decided to redshirt the 2025-26 season, finish his degree at Princeton, then enter the transfer portal and transfer and play the 2026-27 season elsewhere.

I see Geno is doing great things at powerhouse Stony Brook! 8-24 last season with an impressive 320 RPI!
Would be tough to lure him back to Peoria, but OH the memories!

Stony Brook is picked 7th (by this source) in their conference

Just got an email that dropped the schedule. We play Saint louis at home but it’s an exhibition. Would have looked good on the regular schedule.



Also glad to see the baby blue becoming a regular color.

The schedule shows the game against St. Bonaventure to be played at the Rock Hill Sports and Events Center in St. Bonaventure, NY. This is a mistake. This Sports and Events Center is in Rock Hill, SC. Hopefully, someone will notice this mistake and correct it.

Oh how we long for the day of a professionally run Sports Information Department. It's been all down hill after Joe D. retired.

Purchased my tickets for my family for the Princeton game in November few hours drive from my house. Hopefully some others here make it down to Florida for the tournament.

Agree there aren't any cheap seats or all session packages. Decided to go splurge since I don't get to go to many bu games living in Florida and could get seats right behind bu bench. On a side note I have kidney up for sale if anyone is interested.
