Time Running Out
After two convincing wins over Dartmouth and Harvard this weekend, the men's basketball team (15-12 overall, 6-7 Ivy League) will be playing tonight to avoid the first losing Ivy League season in Princeton history.After squandering an 18-point lead in the final eight minutes of their first match-up with the Ivy League-champion Penn Quakers (19-8, 12-1) this season ? a game they went on to lose, 70-62, in overtime ? the Tigers will have a chance tonight to send their historically hated rivals off into the NCAA Tournament on a low note.And after pouring in a combined 32 points against the Big Green and the Crimson, senior guard Will Venable will need just one point tonight to become the 26th player in University history to reach the 1,000-point mark for his superb Princeton career.In other words, though Ivy League schedule-makers may have originally envisioned that tonight's game at Jadwin Gym between Princeton and Penn would be a battle for the conference title and a post-season berth, enough is still at stake to make Princeton's final game of the season well worth watching.The opportunity to see Venable, senior center Judson Wallace and their fellow classmates play in the final game of their collegiate careers will be among the most compelling reasons to watch."It'll be a good way to go out having the opportunity to play Penn in the final game," Venable said.
