WHO: Princeton (3-1) at Merrimack (1-1) WHEN: Sunday, 1 p.m., Lawler Arena, North Andover, Mass. TV/ RADIO: ESPN+/ The Varsity Network LAST TIME OUT: Princeton lost to Loyola of Chicago, 73-68; Merrimack lost to VCU, 63-42 SERIES HISTORY: First meeting KENPOM RANK: Princeton 94; Merrimack 184 SCOUTING PRINCETON: The Tigers have a long bus ride and quick turnaround following Friday night’s loss to Loyola. Coach Mitch Henderson lamented the final four minutes in which his team couldn’t get the 50/50 balls. “Everybody as a group from head coach on down has to look at why is it that they out-worked us at the end of the game. That can’t be happening,” he said. Princeton twice failed to secure a defensive rebound it had to get in the last 15 seconds, which perhaps points to a bigger issue that is presenting itself. The Tigers have a minus-8 per game differential on the boards, which ranks 332nd nationally. Of course, they can overcome that on most nights with the offensive firepower. Xaivian Lee (17.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists), Caden Pierce (14.0 points, 9.0 rebounds) and Dalen Davis (17.3 points) have been as advertised, while Blake Peters and Malik Abdullahi have provided support throughout the first four games. SCOUTING MERRIMACK: The Warriors are in their sixth season at the Division I level and first year in the MAAC after five in the NEC. Joe Gallo’s side had no problem with the step up to DI — Merrimack won the NEC in its very first season in the league — and has won at least 20 games in two of those five years. The Warriors are known for a quirky 3-2 zone defense that can be tough to figure out. They forced 17 turnovers in each of their first two games — a win at home over Vermont and a loss at VCU — and average 17.5 points off turnover. Princeton only coughs it up 9.5 times per game. Guard Budd Clark is the top scoring threat at 19 points and forward Sean Trumper averages 13.5 points and six rebounds.
