Following a week’s hiatus, CU edged back over .500 with a 65-62 win against Yale on Sunday afternoon at the CU Events Center.
The battered faces told the story.
“Games in late November at home aren’t supposed to be that nerve-racking,” CU head coach Tad Boyle said. “We beat a really, really good program. A team that’s really well-coached. We were fortunate to win this game.” The Bulldogs got within 61-60 on a driving bucket by Bez Mbeng with one minute to play, and after a miss by CU’s Jalen Gabbidon, a former Yale player, the Bulldogs had an opportunity to take the lead in the waning seconds.
“I thought our guys showed grit and toughness down the stretch, but there’s still areas we can improve on,” Boyle said. “Putting two halves together, that’s the key. Poulakidas, who’s a hell of a player, who’s a shooter on the scouting report, goes 6-for-8 from three. You cannot let shooters on the scouting report get eight threes off, much less make six of them. We have to make shooters drive.”
