Friday night: Princeton Tigers (10-11, 3-2) vs. Brown Bears (10-13, 1-5), 8 p.m., Jadwin Gym
Saturday night: Princeton vs. Yale Bulldogs (13-10, 5-1), 6 p.m., Jadwin Gym
Projected Starters
Princeton: G Spencer Weisz (6-4, Soph., 12.1 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 2.7 APG), F Hans Brase (6-8, Jr., 11.4 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 2.3 APG), F Pete Miller (6-10, Soph., 6.3 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 1.3 APG), G Amir Bell (6-3, Fr., 9 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 2.9 APG), F Steven Cook (6-5, Soph., 10.4 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 1.7 APG)
Brown: F Rafael Maia (6-9, Sr., 9.3 PPG, 8 RPG, 1.4 APG), F Cedric Kuakumensah (6-9, Jr., 10.6 PPG, 7.1 RPG), G Tavon Blackmon (6-0, Soph., 10.4 PPG, 2.2 RPG, 4.2 APG), G Steven Spieth (6-6, Soph., 10.2 PPG, 5 RPG, 2.3 APG), G JR Hobbie (6-4, Soph., 7.6 PPG, 1.2 RPG)
On the Tigers: Princeton looked like it was about to go to 4-1 in the Ivy League Saturday night, when it was up by 13 points on Cornell midway through the second half.
But the Big Red reeled off 22 consecutive points and beat the Tigers 68-60. Princeton still sits in third place in the league and has a chance to gain ground on the Bulldogs this weekend. The Tigers swept the last Yale-Brown back-to-back at Jadwin last spring, topping the Bulldogs, 57-46, and the Bears, 69-64.
On the Bears: Brown looked like a potential Ivy sleeper after beating Providence in early December, but suffered a major blow at the end of January when leading scorer and rebounder Leland King left the team for personal reasons.
The Bears are 1-5 since King?s departure, though they took Harvard to overtime last week. The inside duo of Rafael Maia and Cedric Kuakumensah continues to be a major strength for Brown, and sophomore guard Tavon Blackmon has done a solid job trying to fill the considerable shoes of graduated All-Ivy point guard Sean McGonagil.
