Two of the top three teams in the Ivy League face off tonight when Princeton visits Yale.

The Tigers are coming off a blowout loss at Cornell this past Saturday. The Bulldogs won each of their last six games, four of which were against conference opponents.

Both teams are about equal statistically. Princeton averages 77.6 points and allows 64.4 points per game, while Yale scores 76.3 points and allows 66.9 points per game this year.

A win for Yale would give the team a path to the top spot in the Ivy League, as the Bulldogs are currently tied with Cornell as the only two schools without a loss in the conference. Yale, however, only has a 13-6 record compared to Cornell's 15-3 overall record.

Princeton, meanwhile, would leapfrog Yale with a victory and keep pace with Cornell at the top of the Ive League. The Tigers are 15-2 on the season, and their only conference loss is to Cornell.

Xaivian Lee leads the Tigers this year with 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Forward Caden Pierce is the team's leading rebounder with 9.4 per game, and he also averages 14.6 points per game.

The Bulldogs deploy a quartet of double-digit scores, with forward Danny Wolf at the top with 14.1 points per game. He also leads the team with 9.6 rebounds per game. John Poulakidas (13.1 points), Bez Mbeng (12.9 points) and Matt Knowling (11.1 points) aren't far behind, though.
