MEN’S Ball: Yale beats Harvard, stretches out win streak to six

The Bulldogs (13-6, 4-0 Ivy) discarded Harvard (10-7, 1-4 Ivy) in a 78-65 street triumph, stretching out their success streak to six.

“It took us some time to get acclimated to the manner in which they were playing guard, yet when we did and got into our offense, we were very great,” lead trainer James Jones told Yale News. “John [Poulakidas ’25] and August [Mahoney ’24] were colossal, and they got a ton of help from our seat.”

Sharpshooting monitor couple Mahoney and Poulakidas drove the group in scoring with 22 focuses each on a consolidated 10-17 from three-point range.

Yale fell behind ahead of schedule, following 29-19 with the main half slowing down. Be that as it may, consecutive to-back threes from Mahoney and Poulakidas brought it inside one, and a couple of Scratch Townsend ’26 free tosses gave the Bulldogs the lead heading into the second.

After Mahoney and Poulakidas each hit two threes in the initial three minutes of the final part, Yale leaped out to a 45-36 lead.

Bold guard saved the Dark red under control until the end of the game, and Yale wrapped up with an agreeable 13-point triumph.

Remarkably, Yale’s 78 focuses came regardless of calm games from driving scorer Danny Wolf ’26 and watchman Bez Mbeng ’25. Matt Knowling ’24, who drove the group in scoring last season yet had a more slow beginning to the current year’s mission, had 15 focuses — his fourth consecutive game with twofold digit scoring.

“I think yesterday showed our group’s profundity and flexibility,” Mahoney said. “The way that Danny and Bez didn’t score the ball like they as a rule do however different folks moved forward is an indication of an even, solid group.”

The success is Yale’s second consecutive out and about and eighth in the last nine games. Of those eight successes, six have come out and about.

Presently, the Bulldogs have three home games in front of them, including rival Princeton (15-2, 3-1 Ivy) this Friday.

“I feel like our group’s science has worked on a ton starting from the beginning of the time,” Mahoney said. “We actually have considerably more space to develop yet I’m really happy by they way we have started to mobilize behind each other and show a ton of progress. We simply need to continue to construct many days.”
