Preview: Cornell Looks to Sweep Season Series at Struggling Princeton PRINCETON, N.J. (Interstat) — The Cornell Big Red will look to complete a regular-season sweep and solidify their position in the Ivy League standings when they visit the Princeton Tigers at Jadwin Gymnasium on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026. Cornell (11-10, 4-3 Ivy) enters with momentum from an 88-67 road victory over Columbia last Saturday. The Big Red have won four of their last six conference games. Princeton (8-15, 3-4), meanwhile, seeks to rebound from a heartbreaking 60-61 loss at Penn, its fourth defeat in the last five outings. The visiting Big Red dominated the first meeting this season, a 87-64 victory in Ithaca on Jan. 30. Cornell’s Josh Baldwin was instrumental in that win, scoring 13 points in 19 minutes. The sophomore guard is coming off a career performance against Columbia, posting a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Over his last five games, Baldwin is averaging 9.8 points and 5.2 assists, providing versatile backcourt production. Princeton will counter with its own standout in forward Malik Abdullahi. The junior is fresh off a double-double (12 points, 11 rebounds) in the narrow loss to Penn and logged a season-high 41 minutes in an overtime loss at Harvard last month. His consistency will be key for a Tigers squad that has struggled to find offensive rhythm, averaging just 64.3 points in its last three games. For Cornell, sustaining its recent offensive efficiency is paramount. The Big Red have scored 86 points or more in four of their last five wins. Support for Baldwin has come from players like Kaspar Sepp, who had 9 points and 6 assists against Columbia, and Jake Fiegen, who added 11 points and 5 rebounds. Princeton’s path to an upset likely requires a significant defensive improvement. The Tigers allowed Cornell to shoot 50.8% from the field in the January matchup. Containing Baldwin and disrupting Cornell’s ball movement will be essential for home success. Following this contest, Cornell travels to Penn on Saturday, while Princeton hosts Columbia the same day.
