The Ivy League Player of the Year in 1991 and 1990, Kit Mueller was also a two-time Academic All-American and a three-time first-team All-Ivy League honoree. In 2009, an ESPN publication named him one of the five greatest players in Princeton men’s basketball history.
 
Mueller helped continue the Tigers’ winning tradition, leading Princeton to Ivy League Championships in 1989, 1990 and 1991, along with NCAA Tournament appearances in each of those seasons. During his senior season in 1991, he led the Tigers to a perfect 14-0 record in conference play.
 
His name is featured prominently in the Tigers’ record book, as his 1,546 points rank fourth all-time at Princeton. In addition, he ranks third in made field goals (556), made free throws (411) and assists (381), while sitting fourth in field goal percentage (59.9%).
 
His 1989-90 season produced two of the program’s all-time best marks as well, with his 140 assists ranking No. 3 in a season by a Tiger and his 64.9% field goal clip ranking No. 4 all-time.
 
On three occasions, Mueller had games with 11 assists – which is the third-highest single-game assist total by a Princeton player.
 
After Princeton, Mueller played professionally in Switzerland before becoming a professional hedge fund trader. He also became active in 3-on-3 basketball leagues, and in 2003 teamed with Mitch Henderson, Craig Robinson, Brian Earl and Arne Duncan and made the national championship. His daughter, Ellie Mueller, is currently a junior on Princeton’s women’s lacrosse team.
