Not particularly surprising that Yale won as they both physically and mentally tougher than the Quakerites. Home court certainly did not hurt.

It will be interesting if Princeton brings their A game, defensively, tomorrow night. If so, it will be a battle to the bitter end in all likelihood. We can certainly anticipate that Yale will play tough and hard. I suspect that it will be a battle and may be decided based on 3 pt shooting.

  • iogyhufi Said:

I wonder if Donahue may not have outsmarted himself a bit with those few possessions of zone. It's not as though Yale was lighting it up on offense at that point, and Yale has several very capable shooters, even if that hasn't been a forte of late.




I’ll have to go back, if I can bear it, and see what happened on those possessions. Showing some zone, which I can’t remember seeing recently, was a predictable move since Penn could not stop Gabbidon inside. I don’t think we expected him to be the guy to light it up from outside in the second half, though.

Seemed like a reasonable change of pace. But Gabbidon and Swain hit 3 3s in a row against it. It may have literally been three possessions of zone, and 9 quick points for Yale.
