In response to SomeGuy
Yale did not always get a lot of "love" from some forum contributors during the course of the year --- i.e. no bench, pedestrian backcourt etc etc. Plus, they had virtually had no Yale fans to support their cause.
It certainly helps to have two of the three best players in the league plus Sherrod in the top five. Mason is just incredibly good and as Jones said in an interview, he thought that Makai would be a good Ivy League player but he is surprised as to how good he is.
Is it all that surprising that Yale beat Baylor with a 13-1 record --- a loss to the Tigers away and only one close game? Yale lost to SMU by 2 pts away and had Duke knotted up with 10 minutes to go. They are a very good team -- probably one of the best teams in the Ivies in a while.
Unfortunately, what will probably get them in the short or long run is their foul shooting.
