Riding a six-game winning streak, Yale Bulldogs returns to action with a home matchup against UIC on Sunday, Dec. 7, before heading to the MassMutual Center for a neutral-site showdown with UAlbany Great Danes in the MGM Springfield Basketball Hall of Fame Classic on Wednesday.
The Bulldogs are off to a red-hot 10–1 start and sit atop the Ivy League standings. They just handled UIC 80–66 at home, adding to a recent run that includes a dominant 79–61 victory over Brown, a blowout 117–53 win against Saint Mary’s, and a tight 77–74 triumph over Vermont. Yale has looked every bit like a team hitting its stride early in the season.
Albany, meanwhile, has had a tougher go at 3–7 and currently sits seventh in the America East. The Great Danes are coming off a rough 93–65 road loss to Columbia. Before that, they grabbed a comfortable 90–62 win over SUNO but followed it with setbacks against Fordham (88–68) and Colgate (69–67). UAlbany has shown flashes, but consistency has been their biggest hurdle.
