The 2001–02 Princeton Tigers men's basketball team represented the Princeton University in intercollegiate college basketball during the 2001–02 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The head coach was John Thompson III and the team co-captains were Michael S. Bechtold and Ahmed El-Nokali.[2] The team played its home games in the Jadwin Gymnasium on the University campus in Princeton, New Jersey, and was co-champion of the Ivy League. The team earned an invitation to the 40-team 2000 National Invitation Tournament.[3] The team was making its seventh consecutive postseason appearance.[4]
Using the Princeton offense, the team posted a 16–12 overall record and an 11–4 conference record.[2] The team was led by All-Ivy League second team selections Bechtold and El-Nokali.[3] The team earned the 52nd consecutive home victory over Brown on February 23 to establish a National Collegiate Athletic Association record for consecutive home victories over a single opponent. As of 2010[update] the North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team eclipsed that record with a current streak of 54 over Clemson.[5] The Tigers had a chance to win the Ivy League championship outright by defeating Penn in the regular season finale on March 5, but they lost 64–48, resulting in a three-way tie.[6] By virtue of its superior record head-to-head Penn had a bye in the first round of the three-way playoff.[6] The Tigers played Yale in a one-game playoff with the winner to face Penn in a one-game championship. Princeton lost 76–60 on March 7 at The Palestra in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2][3][7][8] In the National Invitation Tournament the team lost its first round contest against the Louisville Cardinals at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky on March 12 by a 66–65 score.[2][8] The team lost on a jump shot with 5.3 seconds remaining.[4]
