AMIR BELL ’18 scored 16 points, including five in overtime, as Princeton men’s basketball outlasted Yale, 76–73, Feb. 2. It was Bell’s best all-around game of the season: He also grabbed 11 rebounds, dished out four assists, and made two steals. The following night, overtime was less kind to the Tigers. Five Princeton players scored in double figures, but Brown tied the game late in regulation and pulled ahead with five seconds left in overtime, winning 102-100 in the highest-scoring game in Princeton history.
