Princeton basketball retains entire roster amid transfer portal era
Summary

Princeton University's basketball team enters the 2025-26 season with its entire roster returning, a rarity amid rampant player transfers across college basketball. Jackson Hicke, a senior guard, and his teammates opted to stay together after a difficult previous season. Head coach Mitch Henderson praised the continuity as a strength. Princeton was predicted to finish fourth in the Ivy League but aims for greater success through team chemistry and familiarity. They will face several non-conference opponents this season, including St. Mary's and Temple, in hopes of asserting their cohesion and performance.
