UAlbany Great Danes at Yale Bulldogs

Yale shoots it cleaner from everywhere and protects the ball, while UAlbany is much shakier from the perimeter and turns it over more often. Over 40 minutes, that combination means Yale is stacking high-quality possessions while the Great Danes are fighting through empty trips. The numbers don’t lie: Yale’s shooting efficiency, turnover edge, and superior free-throw profile all point the same direction, and recent form backs it up with Yale rolling to multiple comfortable wins while UAlbany has eaten several double-digit road losses. Here’s how I see this playing out: Yale’s guards control the tempo, they get into the paint, live at the line, and slowly stretch this from a 10–12 point game into a full-on blowout midway through the second half. The only real risk is UAlbany’s work on the offensive glass keeping them within striking distance, but Yale’s shot-making and composure at home should be too much. Lock this in: Yale Bulldogs -17.5.
