PRINCETON, N.J. -- With the majority of Ivy schools in exam and winter breaks, it is very light schedule for Ivy League men's basketball with only four games on the slate this week.

Two of those games are Ivy travel-partner matchups as Brown hosts Yale and Columbia welcomes Cornell on Saturday. Also on the weekend, Harvard plays its final non-conference game for this season in a road tilt at George Washington.

Penn is the first of the Ivies to take to the court this week with the first of three-straight Big Five battles, traveling to La Salle on Wednesday in a game that will be televised on The Comcast Network.

CO-PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Columbia junior guard Noruwa Agho (New City, N.Y.) came up big for the Lions in two wins over Lafayette and Union. Agho was sensational in the Lions’ win at Lafayette, scoring 15 of Columbia’s final 18 points in the game. He then blocked a three-point attempt at the buzzer that helped seal the win. It was one of Agho’s career-high five blocked shots in the game. Against Union, he scored 24 points and nailed six three-pointers while also grabbing six rebounds and had two steals in the process.
