| Keys to the Game |
| Key sequence |
Yale guard Eric Flato hit three-pointers on consective possessions to push Yale’s lead from eight to 14 with under seven minutes left. Dartmouth had gone on a 12-5 run to trim its deficit to four, but Flato’s threes capped off a 14-4 Bulldog run in response. |
| Key sign it was over |
Caleb Holmes converted a layup with 2:39 left to give Yale a 16-point advantage. |

Yale’s Dominick Martin. The senior center scored 15 points in 24 minutes, without committing a turnover. |
| Key statistic |
Yale’s 55.8-percent to 35.6-percent edge in shooting percentage. It would have been the 33-14 edge in free throws attempted, but the Bulldogs only hit 20 of 33 attempts from the line. |
