Men's Basketball Tops Yale 62-54 on Senior Night
Avenging a pair of double-digit defeats from two weeks ago, the Tigers made it a weekend sweep with a 62-54 win over Yale Saturday night at Jadwin Gym.
Seniors Mike Strittmatter and Jason Briggs started together for the first time, each chipping in multiple buckets in a game that was scarecly outside of a double-digit spread in the second half.
"This is our best response yet," said Sydney Johnson, the Franklin C. Cappon-Edward G. Green '40 head coach of men's basketball at Princeton. "These teams manhandled us up there, so I'd say this is definitely our best response of the season."
Fifteen days after Princeton (12-12, 7-4 Ivy) was outrebounded by 20 at Yale (12-14, 7-5), the Tigers won the rebounding battle 24-22. No Bulldog had more than five boards, and Dan Mavraides was both the leading scorer and rebounder for Princeton wtih 16 points and six boards. Alex Zampier and Ross Morin led Yale in the scoring column with 19 and 16, respectively.
But it wasn't a rosy night from start to finish for Princeton. After the Tigers raced out to a 14-0 lead, making 6 of 7 from the field in the first five minutes, Princeton went scoreless for more than nine minutes during which Yale cut it to 14-13.
Princeton scored the next seven points, however, and the Tigers took a 27-20 lead into the break. After halftime, Princeton never trailed despite seeing its lead trimmed to as little as one at 35-34 with 15 minutes left and four at 56-52 with 1:18 to play.
The Tigers will head to Columbia and Cornell with the Ivy League title still in play for the final full weekend of the league season next Friday and Saturday.
