There's a long way to go yet in the Ivy League race, and the Tigers won't have to wait long to get back on the winning side following a 75-72 loss to Harvard Friday night in Jadwin Gym. Saturday will bring a visit from Dartmouth, 6 o'clock. The Crimson took a 39-29 lead into the locker room and Princeton started the second half on a 6-0 run to get within four, but the rest of the game followed a similar pattern. Princeton didn't let it get away, but Harvard always seem to get the basket that cooled the Princeton rally. |

Princeton had clawed within four at 67-63 with three minutes to go and Siyani Chambers hit a long two late in the shot clock that restored a six-point Harvard lead at 69-63. Princeton stayed stuck on 63 until Amir Bell's bucket with 45 seconds to go, and Harvard hung on for the win. |
