In response to Eric Von Zipper
I remember watching the Yale-Duke game with Yale up by 1 pt with 8 minutes left in the first half and thought that the Bulldogs were going to get killed as they simply could not handle Duke's pressure on Phils, Copeland and Oni as the primary ball handlers. Duke outscored Yale 50-24 in the 2nd half. It will be interesting to see if the Dukies do the same or worse to the Tigers. In a perfect world based on the height and size of the Duke front court, it would be better if the Tigers could go with just two guards, Llewellyn and Cannady with Arirguzoh, Much and Stephens up front but if the pressure is too much, Morales will be in there. It really comes down to how well Jaelin can handle the pressure as Morales may get engulfed by the size of Duke.
There is a possibility that Stephens may get limited playing time as he played only 23 minutes against Iona and something may be going on with his knee and/or legs. Tigers obviously need Myles who was the best player on the floor less than 2 years ago in the inaugural IvyMadness.
Nice to see Llewellyn get his first Ivy Rookie of the week award but hopefully, he gets player of the week awards as well especially during the IL season. Bella is now 2 for 2 for player of the week since returning from injury.
