Yale cannot handle the Tigers' physicality and athleticism. Copeland had a nice cut to the hoop but the size of the interior defenders thwarted what would have been an easy basket in Ivy play. |

And Reynolds went up soft and got blocked. Can’t miss open threes. |

This might be the softest Yale team of Jones’s entire tenure. It’s on a scale, but they just aren’t as physical as in the past. |

They are getting intimidated down low on both ends. LSU is also too quick for Yale. |

Swain has kept them in it with some bombs. Now fouled in the act of shooting from distance. |

Reynolds and Bruner 0-5 on threes. Hard to stay in this if those two don’t get something out of those open looks. |

This is an immensely talented LSU team. If they are hitting on all cylinders a Final Four appearance is not out of the question. |

What a crushing open court turnover by Phills, trying to do too much with a chance to cut the lead to 10. Instead it’s an and-1 chance at the other end. |

Bruner misses the and-on. Yale on 10-2 run to only be down 10. They have missed their last 11 threes, Oni with 3 pts (1-10 overall) and Atkinson picked up 3rd foul. |

Yale had the majority of the good looks at the basket in this game--anything near their usual three-point shooting and they would have won comfortably. The initial problems adjusting to LSU's athletic ability also cost them. I have to agree that the old Sears/Sherrod/Downey types would have done a better job of standing up to LSU physically. |
