Next Four Out: Princeton
Since suffering back-to-back defeats to Yale and Cornell last month, the Tigers have ripped off six straight victories to play their way back onto the bubble. While Princeton lacks any Quad 1 result with a 0-0 record, their average results-based metrics ranking of 41 is simply too strong to ignore. They don't possess a bad loss on their resume, and that's a rarity when you get this low in the NET rankings.
The key strength of their case? An impressive 10-3 record in true road games. There's no chance of a Quad 1 opportunity popping up for Princeton, even down in Manhattan for the Ivy League Tournament. Still, they'll at least be in consideration on Selection Sunday if they narrowly fell to Yale in the championship game.
