-Aaron Brown, 3rd leading scorer, A10 honorable mention, graduated.
-Papa Ndao, 6th man, 40% three point shooter, graduated.
-James Demery, best defender on the team, hurt his foot in the first game this season and has been out since. Not playing tonight either.
-Pierfrancesco Oliva, started every game last season. Out for the year with a knee injury.
In total, six of the eight members of last year's rotation - which carried SJU to an A10 title - either graduated, left early, or are currently injured. A former walk-on, Brendan Casper, is seeing regular minutes. Martelli is currently forced to use a few guys who, quite frankly, have no business seeing regular minutes on an Atlantic 10 team
Princeton has won 16 straight at Jadwin. Totally different team at home. In last year's game on Hawk Hill, Princeton had one of its worst shooting nights of the year, hitting only 9/33 from three-point range. If they get off 33 three-point attempts tonight (which is possible given SJU's sagging defense that gives up tons of looks from deep) they're going to score a helluva lot more than 50 points.
