Under the Radar Game of the Day – Saturday, February 17th

Yale (17-6, 8-0) at Princeton (18-3, 6-2) – 8:00 PM ET (ESPN2)

Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to historic Jadwin Gym for a pivotal Ivy League matchup between the Yale Bulldogs and the Princeton Tigers. Princeton opened their season with wins against Rutgers, Hofstra and Duquesne and looked like a team that might be able to get an at-large NCAA Tournament bid early on in the season. A pair of road losses at Yale and Cornell have tempered the at-large expectations, but Princeton has now won three straight Ivy League contests and now have home games remaining against Ivy League contenders Yale and Princeton. Caden Pierce had 21 points and 12 rebounds in the Tigers’ 72-63 victory at home against Brown.

Yale comes into tonight’s game on a 10-game winning streak; they’ve cashed in both of their home games thus far against Princeton and Cornell. Danny Wolf had 21 points in the first meeting with Princeton – a 70-64 victory against the Tigers. Wolf upped the ante with 25 points and 10 rebounds in the Bulldogs’ 80-78 win against Cornell.
