Harvard vs Princeton Preview

Princeton look to continue a four-game winning streak against Harvard on Friday to stay in the race for first place in the Ivy League. Yale currently holds the top spot in the standings in a tie with Princeton.

“I’ve been here four years and missed out on a year, so I think it makes everything mean that much more,” Princeton Tigers senior guard Ethan Wright said per Kyle Franko of the Trentonian. “I’ve played in one Ivy League Tournament and didn’t get to play the last time. Winning the Ivy League regular season, it will still mean the world to us.”

The Tigers boast the high-scoring offense in the Ivy League. Tosan Evbuomwan leads the Tigers in scoring with 15.4 points per game. Three other Tigers average double figures — Ethan Wright with 15.3 points, Jaelin Llewellyn with 14.4 points, and Ryan Langborg with 11.1 points.

Evboumwan also crashes the boards well and sets up the offense with his 6.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per contest. He also averages 1.5 steals per night.

Wright leads the team in rebounds with 7.3 boards per game. He also posts 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals.

“Ethan came into the season and he was the most in shape. Tosan has been dominant throughout the course of the season,” Tigers head coach Mitch Henderson said per Franko.

Llewellyn averages four rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Langborg posts 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest.

Harvard will look to slow down the Tigers offense, win a third-consecutive game and improve on its fourth-place spot in the Ivy League standings. The Crimson allow a league low of 68.4 points per game.

Crimson 6-foot-7 forward Noah Kirkwood gets the job done on the offensive end of the floor. He averages 18 points per game as the team’s scoring leader. He also averages 5.7 rebounds, three assists, and 2.1 steals per game.

Luka Sakota scores 11.6 points per game for the Crimson He also posts 3.5 rebounds and two assists per night. Mason Forbes averages 8.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, and Kale Catchings tallies 8.4 points and 1.1 steals per contest.

Harvard will also have to contend with Princeton’s defense, which held three-consecutive opponents under 65 points before beating Yale 81-75 on Feb. 19.

“The defense has finally come alive,” Henderson said per Franko. “We’re connected in helping each other, we’re more in tune with the scout and how that’s going to help us win. … They are a group with the spirit of improvement and that is the key. When the oldest and best guys are acting like that, it helps me be a better coach.”
