With a chance to make a real statement about contending for the Ivy League title, the men’s basketball team stumbled in New Haven earlier tonight, falling 57-49 to Yale.
Ahead by 9 early in the second half, the Lions immediately allowed a 20-4 run, and were unable to close the gap at the end. Junior guard Patrick Foley led the team in scoring for the second straight night, this time with 17 points.
The loss drops the Lions (6-4) into a tie for second with Dartmouth (whom the Lions play next Saturday) and Yale. Cornell’s win over Brown most likely puts the NCAA bid out of reach, though a stumbling Cornell could still lead to a joint league title (and an NIT berth). In addition to Dartmouth on the 28th, the Lions play Harvard next Friday, and then close out the season at home a week later against Penn and Princeton.

@hey george justin malone, no-one wants to join your group
@Roaree the Lion You should have been there! It was a second-half epic fail! Did you miss it because you were drinking alcohol?
@sad! sad they lost, but still excited about Men’s B-ball, which is both unexpected, and strangely exciting.
@oh well They’re still doing way better than they were expected to this year, after that many guys graduated. I’m impressed with them.
@I watched the entire game on YES. We lost the tail ends of the game. We started out terribly but came back, led at halftime, started out strong in the 2nd half, then it was a spectacular collapse. It was disappointing.
