Yesterday, I spent the whole afternoon digging into the match between Brown and Yale. I was really curious to see how it would all play out, especially since I’ve been following both teams for a while now.
So, I started by looking up some recent news about the game. I found an article from the Associated Press that got me really excited. It talked about this Matt Knowling guy hitting a jumper right at the buzzer, and Yale ending up winning 62-61. It was described as the championship game of the Ivy League, and that really got my attention.
- First, I watched some highlights from the game. Man, it was intense! The lead kept changing, and both teams were playing their hearts out.
- Then, I went to ESPN to check out the box score. It had all the details, like who scored what and when. It helped me understand the flow of the game even better.
- I noticed Lyndel Erold had a pretty good game for Brown, scoring 15 points. And for Yale, it was definitely that last-second shot by Knowling that sealed the deal.
Digging Deeper into Stats
After getting the basic rundown, I wanted to see the whole picture, so I tried to find a full game log or play-by-play somewhere. I came across something called “Stathead” and their “Game Finder” tool. I guess it lets you search through tons of college basketball games, but I didn’t end up using it. I just wanted the basics for this one game, to be honest.
I also read that Grant Jordan from Yale threw for like, 372 yards and six touchdowns in a game. Impressive numbers, but it seemed like it was from a different game, maybe football? So, I focused back on the basketball match.
The Final Moments
I rewatched the last few minutes of the game a couple of times, trying to piece together what happened. From what I gathered, Yale was trailing, but they managed to put together an 8-1 run in the final moments. That buzzer-beater by Knowling was just the cherry on top.
Honestly, it was one of the most exciting games I’ve watched in a while. Both teams played great, but Yale just managed to edge out Brown in the end. I can see why it was called the championship game—it definitely lived up to the hype!
Overall, it was a great afternoon of diving into basketball stats and reliving an epic game. Can’t wait to see what these teams do next season!
