Yale defense is just suffocating Brown right now. Wolf is shutting down Nana. Lots of bad shots very late in the shot clock.
Great crowd atmosphere, though. Both teams have plenty of supporters there.

Wolf not doing too much on offense but he and the other interior defenders are making life miserable for Brown inside.
4 point game with a shade over 2 minutes to go in the first half. Overall, I'd say that Yale has had better shot selection than Brown, they just haven't gone in.

Yale missing some good shots and seeing none of the aggressiveness Brown showed on offense yesterday. Lots of tentative play and Yale playing shutdown so far.

Brown showed aggressiveness but the results were often blocks or getting called for fouls. So as the half wore on, they got more tentative as a result.

Also, they have to get Savage out of there. Calling Mbeng Miye Oni? Oy. Well, that and it seemed like you couldn't go 2-3 minutes without some reference to Princeton.
Your Tigers aren't playing in this contest, dude.

Ferrari is clearly not 100 pct. Since making 11 of his prior 13 threes. He is oh for his last eight, every one of them short.

An ugly first half for both teams.
I think Savage is trying to stand
up for the League's quality.
Whoever gets some offensive flow wins.

Brown giving up a lot of offensive boards right now. Can’t beat Yale with that.

Yale winning every battle this far except three point shooting. TO, boards, assists, fouls, and blocks. They’ve led the whole way and haven’t looked flustered. Right now they look like the better team.

Heartbreaking. Just devastating.
Congratulations to Yale on a fantastic season and an incredible performance down the stretch. Big players making big shots and nothing to do but tip your cap. Brown has been hard to beat and seemed to have the Cinderella story behind them. To overcome that down six in the final minute is legendary.
An incredible end to Brown’s season. Absolutely dazzling turnaround. Reinvigorated the Brown base!

From heartbreakers to the heartbroken. Today proved yesterday's game was no fluke, though Lee's illness was a huge, unforeseen break.
I look forward to Brown being great next season - it could be an all-time year for the Ivy. Princeton, Yale and Brown will vie for the top. Cornell and Harvard (if Mack stays) will also be good. Maybe a two-bid Ivy will finally happen...

Perhaps most importantly, the nucleus of this team returns, and IvyMadness 2025 is in Providence.

Brown put on quite a show and got more good play from more guys than I expected. They’re like a car with an oversized engine retrofitted in—huge acceleration but maybe some torque steer. Lots of athleticism and grit and a couple of creators who can hit tough shots.
Next year they’ll be formidable.
