Not easy, bacause princeton attacks on both end, on the 3 pt line and the rim.

I would say man to man or 3-2 Zone should be the best ways, because they often take a very high amount of 3 pointers. But in the end princeton is a weak offense, so maybe it is hard to find a fitting defence but eassy to stop their attacks.

3-2 or 1-3-1 depending on the quality of your rebounder, when you have stronger rebounder then your opponent i would go for 1-3-1.

i choose defence when i like to avoid blow out in scrimmages, else you will score less then with other tactics because you normally got time struggle(or at least i didn't seen a team which could use princeton)
