Wente, who had four rebounds, four assists and three steals with his 17 points, was one of four Tigers in double figures. Ahmed El-Nokali had 13, while Nate Walton and Ed Persia had 10 each.
Paul Vitelli tied his career high with 13 to lead Yale.
Princeton led 28-24 at halftime before building a lead of as many as 16 in the second half. The Tigers shot 20 for 38 for the game, while Yale shot just 15 for 50.
Princeton is at Dartmouth and Harvard next weekend.
