Princeton is currently in the top 10 and has yet to be threatened in the Ivy League.But tonight, the Tigers host arch-rival Penn, which can, by beating Princeton, destroy the dream, strip the Tigers of their national ranking and grab a piece of the Ivy League lead.And if there's one Quaker player the Tigers fear, it's sophomore point guard Michael Jordan, the league's leading scorer."He's fast, he's strong, he can make his shot, he can go either way," Princeton assistant coach John Thompson '88 said.
