In response to SRP
It will be interesting to see how much 1-3-1 zone that Yale utilizes with Bruner at the top. Bruner plays like Cook at the top with the added advantage of being 3" taller with a longer wing span. Oniand Bruner can block shots. Last night, both came off the bench but perhaps they start tonight.
In all likelihood, Tigers will be able to defend as Yale is a good but not great offensive team. They shoot 3s' slightly better than Tigers but shoot less of them. Oni, Copeland and Dallier can shoot 3s'. Their strengths are rebounding and defense and being tough.
Tigers need to keep moving the ball and they will ultimately get looks although Yale charges out to the shooter. May need to fake some shots and then reset for 3 pt shot, which is tough, or drive to the basket and give somebody else an open look as Yale switches.
They may be playing each other two more times after tonight so hopefully, Mitch learns how to play them.
