Center Steve Goodrich scored 19 points and No. 9 Princeton remained unbeaten in the Ivy League, winning its 14th consecutive conference game by at least 10 points with a 71-52 victory over Penn at Princeton, N.J.

“I think it’s time for everybody to give it to them,” said Penn Coach Fran Dunphy, whose Quakers--14-10 overall and 7-2 in the Ivy League--had won seven games in a row before facing Princeton.

The Tigers (21-1, 9-0) have won 31 in a row in the month of February and matched the best start in school history, a mark set by the 1924-25 team. Princeton’s only loss this season was at No. 1 North Carolina.

No. 14 Michigan State 80, No. 22 Michigan 75--With Magic Johnson sitting in the stands after a fiery pregame pep talk, Michigan State remained in first place in the Big Ten Conference as Jason Klein scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half to lead the Spartans (19-5, 12-2) at East Lansing, Mich.

Michigan (18-8, 8-5) was led by Louis Bullock with 26 points.
