Columbia-Yale
Press Notes
The Bulldogs (11-10, 3-3 Ivy) have won 13 of their last 14 Ivy League home games but are coming off losses at Princeton and Penn last weekend. Yale has not had a winning or losing streak of longer than two this season. The Bulldogs also have won eight of the last 10 meetings with the Lions, but Columbia leads the all-time series 119-89. The Lions (8-11, 1-5 Ivy) started the season 5-0 for the first time since 1969-70 but have lost their last three. Columbia is second in the Ivy League in field goal percentage defense (.422).
Princeton-Harvard
Press Notes
Five games on the road in a nine-day span will test the mettle of any team. The Princeton men’s basketball team gets a chance to test its mettle beginning Friday night. That’s when the second-place and 3-1 Tigers visit 4-2 Harvard. Princeton has shot 45% or better from the field five times in its past seven games after shooting 45% or better twice in its first 10 games this season.

The Wizards have moved back above .500 by winning 11 of their last 15 games. They improved to 3-0 on a five-game homestand by beating Golden State 129-124 on Wednesday night. Cleveland has won nine of its past 11 games.
Blazers-Celtics
Eagle-Tribune
The last thing Boston needed was another injury but that’s exactly what happened yesterday at practice.Starting center Kendrick Perkins dislocated his left shoulder. Coach Doc Rivers said he thought it was after the center collided with Brian Scalabrine. Friday, Perkins will join fellow young franchise cornerstone Al Jefferson at the end of the bench in street clothes. Point guard Dan Dickau is already out for the season and skywalking shooting guard Tony Allen, who missed 31 games after knee surgery, is now as explosive as a wet firecracker.
