What a heart-breaking game for Brown. With 20 seconds left, they hit one of two free throws to go up 4. But Yale’s John Poulakidas hit a three pointer to cut the lead to 1.
Brown barely managed to get the ball in and escaped the trap forcing Yale to foul Malachi Ndur.
But Ndur missed both FTs, Yale passed the ball outside to Bez Mbeng, who took a dribble to the basket and then found Matt Knowling opennear the basket. And Knowling’s short jumper went through the net as the buzzer sounded.
The Bulldogs of Yale survive with a 62-61 victory and send Brown (13-18) home for the season.
