| Keys to the Game |
| Key sequence |
Yale wrapped a 17-3 run around halftime, blowing open a game that had been respectably close prior to that point. Ahead 28-18 with a little over a minute left in the first half, the Bulldogs scored on nine of their next 12 possessions to claim a 45-21 advantage early in the second half.
|
| Key sign it was over |
A 20-3 Yale spurt just after the midway point of the second half turned the game into a laugher, as a 62-40 game became an 82-43 contest.
|
| Key performance |
Nick Holmes had a great all-around game with 11 points, six rebounds, five assists, and no turnovers in 21 minutes. Had the game been more competitive, Holmes might have flirted with a triple-double.
|
| Key statistic |
Yale’s 51.4-27.8 edge in field goal percentage. The Bulldogs held the Gators to an anemic 5-of-26 (19.2 percent) shooting performance in the first half. After halftime, Yale scorched the nets with 61.5-percent shooting.
