2025 Tournament PreviewYale is headed to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, with three starters from last year's team that knocked out Auburn in the opening round. While 7-0 center Danny Wolf departed for Michigan, senior guard John Poulakidas (19.2 ppg) returned to shoot 40.9 percent from three-point range. Nick Townsend (15.4 ppg, 7.2 rpg) also had a breakout season, more than doubling his scoring average. The Bulldogs shoot 37.7 percent on three-pointers (22nd nationally) for an offense that ranks 61st in KenPom's efficiency rating. Yale is only 105th in defensive efficiency, but it's 28th in the nation in opponent two-point shooting (46.5%). The Bulldogs played Purdue within eight points on the road in their only Quad 1 game and also have a Quad 2 victory against tournament-bound Akron. While they lost two Quad 4 matchups, they're playing their best basketball entering the dance, winning 16 of 17 en route to the Ivy League regular-season and tournament titles.
