Saratoga Springs, NY
Tennessee Tech +1

I think TT's offense is going to be too much for Yale. The Golden Eagles are averaging 79 ppg while giving up just 68 ppg. They're shooting 48% from the field and 37% from behind the arc. Tech shoots 71% from the line and averages 38 rpg including 13 offensive boards per game.

The game is being held in New Haven but not on Yale's home court. It's a guaranteed to be a full house as Yale has purchased 6000 of the 8000 tickets and will be giving them away free. Most likely the crowd will be locals like Stag as the school is on spring break.

This Yale team is not familiar with the New Haven Coliseum as Yale has played only 3 games there in the last two decades and they're 0-3 in those games.

Both teams have played well away, TN Tech is 10-4-1 ATS on the road.

The two teams match up well, it will be interesting to watch Yale's 6-8 TJ McHugh (10.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg) try to stop Tech's big gun: 6-8 Damien Kinloch (16 ppg, 8.4).

I think Tech will get out to a big early lead and unlike in the game vs. Rutgers Yale won't be able to get back into it.

Super.....
Good luck with your plays. Thanks for the write-up. I had no time to cap TT. You convinced me to take TT. I'm leaving for the game right now, with a small play on TT, but I'll be rooting for Yale.

Bulldogs, Bulldogs, rah, rah, rah....Eli Yale!

I took TT+1.5 .........how about a one-point Yale win?! That would be the best.

SuperBook......
That was one heckuva capping job you did. Way to go! TT completely dominated.....what a harrassing defense they played!Yale was never in the game.
Great crowd...packed with all walks of life......electric.......but the only students there were the ones who didn't go on break who live in the area.
Anyway, I hear that Yale is trying to get an invite into the preseason NIT, so the President wanted to show the NIT brass that they could sellout a big gym (so he bought the tickets) . Also, I hear a couple of role players this year will not even be on the team next year, cuz Jones picked up 2 studs!! This team is gonna be fun again next year!
However, Jones is pushing BIGTIME for a postseason tournament in th Ivy. How much would that suck??!! The way the Ivy has it now is what makes the league so unique!
But I hear John Thompson III says "postseason tourney?.....over my dead body."
Damn....I miss the Ancient Eight already, too!

Great work tonight and all season, Superbook! You the MAIN man for Ivy hoops!!!
