...been a three year devolution for the former heavyweights: 2004-05 saw the Tigers post their first sub-.500 Ivy record, last year brought a miserable non-league performance preceding a recovery in league play (10-4, a record now looking like the classic “dead cat bounce”), and this year will likely end up with Princeton in last place for the first time ever...
