PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton University men's basketball team returns to Jadwin Gymnasium for a pair of Ivy League contests, first hosting Brown University on Saturday, January 15, then the University of Pennsylvania on Monday, January 17.

Last Time Out
A final second heave for the win. A career-high 14 points. His first career start. It was a birthday to remember for sophomore Matt Allocco, as he played the role of hero down the stretch for the Princeton University men's basketball team as it overcame an 18-point deficit to defeat Cornell University, 72-70, Saturday night inside Jadwin Gymnasium.

The victory, Princeton's seventh-straight, moved the Tigers to 2-0 in Ivy League play. It also saw Princeton move to 9-0 inside Jadwin Gymnasium in 2021-22.

Senior Drew Friberg finished with a game-high 16 points and tied for the game-high in rebounds with eight, while junior Tosan Evbuomwan added 15 points, eight rebounds, and a game-high five assists. Allocco added a career-high 14 points on 4-for-7 shooting, while junior Ryan Langborg finished with 11 points.

Through 15 Games
The Tigers rank seventh in the nation in three-pointers per game (10.9), 12^th in three-pointers made (429), 15^th in field goal percentage (49.21%), 26^th in assists per game (16.8), and 29^th in three-point percentage (38.0%).

Princeton leads the Ivy League in win margin (11.5), field goal percentage (0.492), three-point field goal percentage (0.380), three-point field goals made (163), and rebounding defense (33.1).

Evbuomwan leads the Ivy League and ranks 29^th nationally in assists (5.3), field goal percentage (53.8) and also ranks second in assist/turnover ratio (2.2), sixth in scoring (16.2), sixth in rebounding (6.0), and eighth in steals.

Wright ranks second in the conference in field goal percentage (47.3), fourth in rebounding (7.5), seventh in scoring (14.3), and ninth in three-point field goals per game (2.4).

Llewellyn is ranked fourth in the Ivy League in points per game (16.2), third in field goal percentage (47.3), and tenth in three-point field goals per game (2.3).

Langborg sits fourth in the conference in three-point field goal percentage (40.9), and sixth in three-point field goals per game (2.5).

Triple Double Watch
Should Evbuomwan, or any Tiger, record a triple double, it would be the first in program history since assists were first recorded in 1974-75.
