Brown doesn’t have the talent to run with Penn for 40 minutes, but it does have the most talented player on the floor—senior point guard and reigning Ivy League Player of the Year Jason Forte. Unless Forte can score 36 points, dish out six assists and grab five boards, the Bears don’t stand a chance in this one. And, as Brown proved against Cornell, even if Forte can manage those gaudy numbers, the squad still might not be able to pull off the victory.

YALE vs. PRINCETON (11-10, 2-5)

You can bet the Bulldogs know who Princeton reserve center Mike Stephens is this time around.

Three weekends ago at Jadwin Gym, Yale led the Tigers 28-26 at halftime before Stephens went absolutely nuts.

The senior, who played 25 minutes in relief of Judson Wallace, scored 15 of his career-high 23 points in the second half and added five rebounds, three blocks, two assists and a steal in the period as Princeton charged from behind for the 58-43 win.

The Tigers went on to lose four straight before righting the ship against Columbia last Saturday. Princeton hasn’t ever finished below .500 in Ivy play and hasn’t posted a losing league record since 1953, as a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League.

A loss to Yale would put the Tigers dangerously close to breaking that streak. Look for Princeton to continue on the long road back to .500 with a big win over Yale tomorrow night.
