– Flato was the game’s top scorer with 22 points, including 8-for-9 free throw shooting.

– Hughes was the only other Yale player in double figures with 12 points, despite a very rough 2-for-13 shooting performance.

– The hosts dominated on the boards, holding Yale to 27.7-percent offensive rebounding, while hauling down 41.7 percent at their own offensive end.

– UMass committed a whopping 30 turnovers, compared to 21 for Yale. The Bulldogs outscored the Minutemen 25-17 in points off turnovers.

– Sam Kaplan did not play for the third straight game after suffering a broken nose against American back on December 9.

– Stephane Lasme had a quiet offensive game with eight points and six turnovers, but the forward was a monster for the Minutemen on defense with seven blocks and 15 of his game-high 16 rebounds at the defensive end.

– James Jones got relatively little production from his bench, as the UMass reserves badly outscored Yale’s 33-16.

– The Bulldogs will look to get back on the winning track when they head to Annapolis to face Navy (9-4) on Saturday, December 30 at 7:00 pm ET.
