Yale is an interesting team in this year’s tournament. They did not play a single second of basketball last season, but seemingly picked up right where they left off on March 13, 2020 when they were primed to reach a second straight NCAA Tournament.

Fortunately, we get them in the NCAA Tournament now, so I spoke with William McCormack of the Yale Daily News to learn more about them:
