You can tell a Yale man, but you have to tell him in this thread.

I predict Baylor will not knock us out of the tourney

I predict Baylor will not knock us out of the tourney

But even in the sidelines they will still out rebound us

[gocanes0506]

Matt Jones will have his work cut out for him to shut down number 11. 31 against Baylor

Here's the box from November's game. 9 and 12 from Amile would be nice to have on Saturday.

We should call off the basketball game and have a debate or math tournament or something.

Makai Mason seems awfully confident about the rematch.

Cue Dickie V's observation that THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THE DUKIES EVER HAVE TO FACE ANYBODY WITH BETTER SAT SCORES, BABY!!!
In all seriousness, this is no gimme...in November, Yale led in Cameron for essentially the entire first half. But I vastly prefer this matchup to Baylor.

But, the monster's out of the mask .

Yeah, they can do the "Safety school!" chant at us.

THE university of North Carolina vs. THE university of Connecticut.

ESPN has 8:50 pm for our game time on saturday

I like our chances. Not because Yale is not imposing on the glass, but because they are the 91st best offensive team in the country. They are also the 21st best defensive team in the country, but teams with better offenses scare me more with this team than teams with better defenses.

Yale isn't that fast or big, but they are extremely well-coached and play really well as a team. Duke is 3x more talented, but can they hold Yale to a reasonable output? I hope so.

This would be fantastic. I really hope they do it...would be hilarious.
Do other schools chant this with any regularity? Like, does it happen at, say, Stanford?

[Doria]

I think Baylor is more talented than Yale, but Yale's the better team (coaching, execution, discipline, etc.). That said, I think we match up better with Yale than we would have with Baylor. Well, at least I hope so! Go Duke!

[azzefkram]

Much better match up than Baylor but this will basically be an away game for the good guys. Yale's a hop, skip and a jump from Providence.

[AIRFORCEDUKIE]

Too Early to call the Big 12 Over rated for the second season in a row? They have two down.

[devildeac]

Somewhat amazingly (I think), Yale outrebounded Baylor 36-32. Did someone here post that Baylor was an even better rebounding team than the cheaters? Oh, my.

Makai Mason seems awfully confident about the rematch.

Didn't we recruit him for a while?
