These were painful results for the Tigers, who were riding a seven-game winning streak and had recently upset Ivy League favorite Cornell.

The men’s basketball team is having its best start to an Ivy League season since the 2003-04 campaign. Two wins this weekend would give the Tigers (9-8 overall, 4-0 Ivy League) their first 6-0 start in conference play since 1999.
