Yale and Duke Thread

Team Tweets & News Articles
Duke
At Duke, success in in the NCAA Tournament has become the expectation. The Blue Devils not only have a Hall of Fame coach in Mike Krzyzewski, but five championship banners he's brought during his 36 years at an academic school that was largely an afterthought on the hardwood before his arrival. It's why the defending champion and West Region fourth seed Duke (24-10) enters its second-round matchup against 12th-seeded Yale (23-6) Saturday with so much respect for a program that's understandably giddy in the aftermath of its first-ever tournament win.

Yale
The only thing ''double-digits'' about Wichita State and Gonzaga have been their margins of victory. ''We don't have basketball people in that group,'' said Kentucky coach John Calipari, during an entertaining rant after the brackets came out. One of Calipari's main complaints was that when teams get seeded improperly, they don't suffer as much as the teams they have to play. Continue to Article

Duke
The Yale basketball team was still rumbling in the locker room about its bracket-busting victory over Baylor, and in the doorway, Herman Jones wanted to take the volume up one more notch to celebrate his son's win. ''Come on Duke!'' the father of Bulldogs coach James Jones yelled. It was a direct summons to West Region No. 4 seed Duke, who Yale will face in the second round of the NCAA Tournament after notching the first upset of the March Madness season with a 79-75 win over fifth seed Baylor on Thursday.

Yale
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Makai Mason had a career-high 31 points, including six of Yale's final nine points, and the No. 12 seed Bulldogs held on to upset fifth seed Baylor 79-75 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday. Continue to Article

Yale
As Yale began NCAA tournament play Thursday, it had a somewhat unlikely supporter in attendance. According to the Yale Daily News, Jack Montague, the team’s former captain who was expelled last month for sexual misconduct, was in attendance as the Bulldogs took on Baylor in Providence, Rhode Island. Former Yale men's basketball captain Jack Montague is in the stands supporting the team at its first NCAA Tournament game in Providence. — Yale Daily News (@yaledailynews) March 17, 2016 Montague, who was expelled for sexual misconduct, is seated two seats down from Master of Ezra Stiles Stephen Pitti, a team faculty liaison. — Yale Daily News (@yaledailynews) March 17, 2016 Montague, a senior who last played for the Ivy League champions on Feb. 6, was expelled after a university investigation determined he had unconsented sex with a female student, an incident that occurred in October 2014, according to Montague's attorney. More than a year later, the woman reported the alleged rape to a Title IX coordinator, who filed a formal university complaint, starting the process which eventually resulted in Montague’s February expulsion. [From Dan Wetzel: Everyone loses in Yale's expulsion of Jack Montague ] Montague says the sex was consensual and plans to sue the school. His attorney issued a statement Monday saying the expulsion was “excessive by any rational measure” and that Montague has been “pilloried as a whipping boy for a campus problem that has galvanized national attention.” Following his dismissal from school, Montague’s former teammates wore T-shirts with his No. 4 jersey number and his nickname, prompting outrage from some on campus. Soon after, posters with statements like “stop supporting a rapist,” among others, were placed around campus. Max Stern, Montague’s attorney, said the posters were slanderous. “The media widely reported on statements made by Yale students and posters put up on campus which condemned Jack Montague directly as the named culprit and as a rapist, thus slandering him with this accusation,” Stern said in a statement. “He was never accused of rape and Yale took no steps to correct these actions. As a result, Mr. Montague has no choice but to correct the record.” Meanwhile, Yale, the No. 12 seed in the West Region, is making its first NCAA tournament appearance since 1962.  - - - - - - - Sam Cooper is a contributor for the Yahoo Sports blogs.
