This was an encouraging effort. Trouble defending the paint and keeping them off the boards, but that’s almost to be expected against a team like X.
20 turnovers is way too many and I remember a stretch in the second half with maybe 4 unforced turnovers in 6 possessions. Some really bad ones thrown in. Take care of the ball a little bit better and this is a W.
Overall though, no complaints. A lot of guys played well, including the frosh + Alston. Would have been great to get the W, but hopefully this inspires some confidence and the wins are coming. Would like to see the rotation expand by 1 when Lieb gets healthy.
Yale’s best player is now out for the year (Makai Mason), so that game is now very winnable.
