Yesterday was Princeton home game of the yearly Penn vs. Princeton men’s basketball matchups.
I had my camera with me for the intent of getting a good Project 365 picture, but with the structure of Jadwin Gymnasium, they don’t exactly have the court blocked off. So for the second half of the game, I took my camera and sat on the baseline with other (more legitimate) photographers and snapped away. Unfortunately I only had my Nifty 50 lens on me, so all the pictures are either really up close or really far away.
By the way, Penn won 62-55 in OT.

Princeton’s Pawel Buczak (55) looks for an open man.
Penn’s Zack Rosen (1) drives down the court.
Penn’s Glen Miller looks pensive as Penn takes over the lead in the second half.
Penn’s Cameron Lewis (33) tries to bring down the rebound. The auto-focus didn’t quite capture the shot I wanted, but you can see that Princeton is losing.
Penn’s Glen Miller explains that he would rather be arrested than put up with any more of these terrible calls. (Caption credit to Rhyno)
Princeton’s Marcus Schroeder (21) prepares to inbound. And also prepares to lose in OT.
Penn’s Zack Rosen (1) reminds the crowd what his jersey number is.
Penn’s Cameron Lewis (33) lays down a dunk. With authority!
The referees take a time-out during the second half to watch American Idol. Also, in a double-whammy decision, they decided to eject Penn’s Conor Turley (44) from the game.
Penn’s players kindly point out that Princeton’s Patrick Saunders (22) should have been taking foul shots, and not Dan Mavraides (33).
Penn’s Jack Eggleson (24) drives down the court.
Penn’s Harrison Gaines (22) sets it up from the outside.
Penn waits for Princeton to come back after a time-out. Even the Quaker looks on impatiently.
And at that point, my camera died, so I don’t have any other photos from the end of the game or during overtime. Whoops! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed.
UPDATE: My friend Jerricka is doing her own Project 365, and took a picture of me taking a picture. This shows you where I was sitting for my shots.

Nice photos! Some of the shots are very close. Did you get on the court or do you have a really long (and open) lens?

Actually, I brought my camera and I only had my Nifty 50 lens on me. I sat down on the baseline right under the basket where the other photographers sat and no one asked any questions!

I was almost at this game shooting for the DP so I could have been one of those photogs. Alas it was never meant to be.
