Despite finishing second in the Ivy League, Princeton (17-11, 10-4) will not be playing in either the CBI or CIT tournaments.

A source close to the Princeton program told the Trentonian Friday that the Tigers won’t be participating in any postseason tournament, though declined further comment.

After Tuesday’s season-ending win over Penn at the Palestra, coach Mitch Henderson seemed lukewarm on the possibility of playing in a third-tier competition.

“We have to talk about it and see where we are,” Henderson said.

Last season, Princeton accepted a bid to the CBI, where it beat Evansville 95-86 before losing to Pittsburgh 82-61.
