New Haven, Conn. - T.J. McHugh scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half to lead Yale to a 60-50 win over Princeton in a key Ivy League men's basketball game Saturday night.
The win gives Yale first place in the league standings at 7-1, while Princeton slipped to 5-1. Pennsylvania improved to 3-3 with a win at Brown, which fell to 4-4. Harvard slipped to 5-3 when it lost at Cornell.
Yale became the third team since 1989 to sweep Princeton and Penn in a weekend.
The Tigers host Pennsylvania Tuesday night.
The Princeton-Yale game was tied at 30-30 at intermission and stayed basically even through the first 13 minutes of the second half before the Bulldogs took control. Trailing 43-42, Yale took the lead on back-to-back three-pointers by Alex Gamboa and Ime Archibong.
Princeton would get no closer than four the rest of the way, and that came at the key juncture of the game. Kyle Wente stole a rebound off a missed shot down 54-50 with 1:45 to play, but he was whistled for his fifth foul. Instead of an uncontested layup and a two-point game, Princeton instead trailed by six after Yale converted both foul shots and was without its top scorer on the night.
Wente led Princeton with 16 points and seven rebounds and was the only Tiger in double figures. Konrad Wysocki had nine points and five rebounds.
Yale was led by McHugh's 15, 12 from Archibong and 10 from Paul Vitelli, who made three first-half three-pointers.
Princeton shot 17 for 46 for the game, including 4 for 21 from three-point range.
