MEN’S BASKETBALL: Defensive woes sink Yale against No. 14 Alabama

|
By Ben Raab
| Yale Daily News
Courtesy of Asher Barondes TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It would be hard for any team to win a basketball game after giving up 22 3-pointers and 21 offensive rebounds. Yale found that out the hard way on Monday night, losing to No. 14 Alabama 102-78. At Alabama’s Coleman Coliseum, the Bulldogs (11–2, 0–0 Ivy) went down early and stayed down after the Crimson Tide (10–3, 0–0 SEC) hit 11 3-pointers in the first half, sending Yale into the break trailing 55-31.

Ben Raab, Senior Photographer HAMDEN — Yale lost one sharpshooter this offseason, but it might just have found another. Sophomore wing Riley Fox ’28 hit three straight threes in the first half against Quinnipiac as Yale (2–0, 0–0 Ivy) dominated the Bobcats (1–2, 0–0 MAAC) 97-60 on Tuesday night. The Connecticut native finished with 13 points on a perfect 5-for-5 shooting line, one of six Bulldogs to score in double figures against the Bobcats.

MEN’S BASKETBALL: UConn won’t play Yale. Now it faces Elis’ neighbor

|
By Ben Raab
| Yale Daily News
David Schamis For decades, Yale versus UConn was a staple of Connecticut basketball. The programs met 14 times between 1987 and 2014. But the rivalry ended in December 2014, when the Bulldogs, winless against the Huskies until then, stunned them 45-44 on a buzzer-beating game winner. The Storrs–New Haven matchup hasn’t been played since. Until now. Sort of. On Monday night, the Huskies will face a New Haven–affiliated team again. But it won’t be Yale.
