Princeton absolutely crushed Carnegie Mellon on Monday, winning 78-46 to start their season 1-0. The Tigers were on fire, led by Dalen Davis, who dropped a game-high 16 points and showed exactly what he’s capable of right out of the gate.
Tigers’ Offense Came Out Swinging
Seriously, Dalen Davis was cooking, hitting 6 of his 8 shots from the field, which included a scorching 3 of 4 from beyond the arc. That’s a ridiculous 75% efficiency when it counts! But he wasn’t alone in lighting up the scoreboard. Christopher Kirkpatrick poured in 13 points of his own, going 5 of 8 from the floor and draining 2 of 3 from downtown. Then you had Ethan Sabec adding 11 points, shooting 4 for 7 overall. When your top three scorers are hitting like that, you know the offense is clicking. They didn’t just win; they controlled the tempo and put up serious numbers.
Carnegie Mellon Couldn’t Keep Up
For Carnegie Mellon, it was a tough night trying to stem the tide. Caleb Jameson led their scoring with 14 points, while Evan Mirazimi contributed 10 points and added two steals. Tosin Oyegade worked hard on the boards, grabbing seven rebounds and chipping in six points, but it just wasn’t enough to contend with Princeton’s offensive onslaught. They were outmatched, plain and simple.
Princeton, now sitting at a perfect 1-0, will look to keep that momentum rolling when they host Hofstra on Thursday. You gotta believe they’re feeling good about this start, and a strong follow-up performance would really set the tone for their season.
