Tiger bait
By JON GAGNON | Nov. 11, 2012With timely baskets from impact players and clutch play on defense, the men's basketball team scrapped its way back into the first game of the season. But when the noise in a packed Alumni Arena reached a crescendo - with time winding down on the shot clock - all dreams of a comeback fizzled away on a 30-foot bomb. The high expectations for this season's team took a step back Saturday afternoon, as a late 3-point shot sunk the Bulls (0-1). They lost a nail biter to Princeton (1-0), 57-53, in the season opener. After junior forward Javon McCrea hit one of two free throws, the Tigers had the ball and a 54-53 lead with 41 seconds remaining.
