Yale Knocks Off Streaking Princeton on the Road

12/15/08 vs. Yale (10-8)

Final: 64-68

Princeton's hot win streak was stopped at two after they crushed both Columbia and Penn in back-to-back games. Yale stormed out to an early lead in this one, but Princeton came storming back to take a slim halftime lead with the score at 32-30 in Princeton's favor. The game would remain fairly even in the second half until Yale took a late five point lead with a little over two minutes remaining. Princeton would miss a three pointer that would have given them the lead with 30 seconds remaining and was forced to foul, where Yale sank their free throws and iced the ballgame. "We played poorly," commented a visibly frustrated Coach Frizzell. "I think we got a little overconfident after we easily knocked off Coumbia and Yale and it cost us thie ballgame as we weere just sloppy out there. We shot horribly and just played terrible." Princeton did shoot badly, as the Tigers shot a mere 36% compared to Yale's 46%. Princeton was great from outside, where they knocked down 7/13, but was horrible inside the ark. "We needed to finish off our layups," commented Coach Frizzell. "We were always expecting the referees to bail us out with a foul, but they didn't always, so we have to still try to get the shot to go down, regardless of whether a foul is called or not. If you make the shot and get the foul, then you get a three point opportunity, which is even better than just getting to the foul line or simply making a bucket. I like that we were trying to draw the contact when we got the ball inside, but we have to finish. It's that simple."

Yale Key Players
E. Plato - 26 points, 6 rebounds
