Series History: Princeton leads 105-28

Ivy Standings: Penn (21-7, 11-1); Harvard (15-12, 10-2); Yale (14-14, 7-5); Columbia (8-17, 5-7); Cornell (11-14, 5-7); Brown (11-14, 4-8); Princeton (12-15, 4-8); Dartmouth 6-19, 2-10)

Scenario Season: Princeton still has an outside chance of landing in the top four, but it needs to win both of its games (at Brown, at Yale) and have Columbia lost both of its games (at Dartmouth, at Harvard) and have Cornell lost at Harvard on Friday night. The Tigers will know after 40 minutes on Friday whether Saturday’s game at Yale has any meaning. Finally, A Win: Princeton snapped a seven-game losing streak by dominating Dartmouth in its last game. It looks like it will be too little too late. During that skid, the Tigers lost three games in overtime and somehow also dropped a game at Dartmouth. Now they need the Big Green, who have at least been competitiv­e at home, to do them a solid. Scouting Brown: Will Desmond Cambridbe strike again? The player who spent a prep year right down the street at the Hun School came back to haunt Princeton in the first meeting with an incredible 32-point performanc­e that included the winning 3-pointer in overtime. Both Cambridge and Brandon Anderson average 17.6 points giving coach Mike Martin’s team a solid 1-2 backcourt punch.

On Deck: Princeton finishes the season at Yale, but again, that game only matters if everything breaks right on Friday night. The Bulldogs (14-14, 7-5) have already clinched a top-four spot and host Penn on Friday night. Miye Oni averages 15.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game for Yale.
