The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights and the Princeton Tigers meet in college basketball action from the Jadwin Gymnasium on Sunday.

The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights will look to rebound from a 62-54 loss to NJIT in their last matchup. Devon Dunn leads the Knights in scoring with 11.8 PPG and 2 APG while Brandon Rush has 11.3 PPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Fairleigh Dickinson. Ibrahim Wattara also has 7 PPG and a team-high 4.8 RPG for the Knights this season. As a team, Fairleigh Dickinson is averaging 55.8 PPG on 33.6% shooting from the field, 28.8% from three and 66.4% from the foul line while allowing 81 PPG on 46.5% shooting from the field and 37.3% from three this season.

The Princeton Tigers will try to bounce back from a 76-64 loss to Monmouth last time out. Jaelin Llewellyn has a team-high 14.2 PPG while Ethan Wright has 13 PPG and a team-high 7.7 RPG as well this season. Ryan Langborg has 10.7 PPG and Tosan Evbuomwan has 10 PPG with 5 RPG and a team-high 4.8 APG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Princeton up to this point in the season. Darius Gakwasi also has 9 PPG with 5 APG after his lone appearance this season. As a team, Princeton is averaging 77.5 PPG on 45.3% shooting from the field, 34.9% from behind the three point line and 70.2% from the foul line while allowing 65.7 PPG on 42.5% shooting from the floor and 30.2% from three point range this season.

I get the case that could be made either way as FDU is not a good basketball team but you’re also not used to having to lay double-digits and points in the teens with Princeton. With that said, I’m going to side with the under here as I envision this being a slower paced, Princeton style of game if you will, a game where the first to 70 wins so give me the under in this one.
