Gutsy win by the Bulldogs. The free throw shooting was abhorrent (16-27), and that definitely has to get better, but the defense was quite good, and the offense showed real promise at times. Brown is a good team, and good teams don't go away quietly. All in all, a road win is a road win.

Yale looks really impressive despite the covid layoff. James Jones is a great coach who always gets his team ready for Ivy play. I'm excited and nervous for the 29th - a major gutcheck game for both teams.

I'm actually especially impressed because this Yale team looks like a team, which you could not say about how they looked before the COVID break. Sure, a lot of that was attributable to playing stiff competition, but the players were playing disjointed and without a sense of who they needed to be as a team (and having talked to some of them, I know they'd be the first to tell you that). They came into Ivy play energized and together and hard-nosed, exactly like Coach Jones prefers his teams to play. That's impressive effort from everyone involved to right the ship so thoroughly.
The Penn game ought to be interesting, in a building that hasn't been kind to Yale recently. The league went from having a glut of excellent big men to almost none, so I'm interested to see how the matchup in the post plays out. Yale's bigs have done sterling work so far, but Moshkovitz and Martz are no pushovers.
