Nothing against Purdue men’s basketball, but this board is invalid. Those settlements need to be two spaces apart!

The game lasts a couple hours but the grudges last forever. Settlers of Catan is the move tonight.

That’s all for Ivy Madness 2026. Yale will not be going dancing but will play in the NIT. Thankful for the opportunity to cover this team the last four years!

Yale coach James Jones on the decision not to foul up three with 7 seconds remaining: “We had discussed about fouling to put them on the free throw line, but decided not to do it. I’ll take the hit for that.”

“Life is hard, there are ups and downs, and it’s not the last down these young men are gonna have. That’s the lesson we try to share with our players.” - Yale's James Jones on the loss.

Final | Yale 84, Penn 88 Penn defeats Yale. The Bulldogs looked all but certain to return to March Madness for the third straight season up four points in the final seconds, but Penn's TJ Power made two threes in the game's final seconds to go to overtime.

Devon Arlington doesn’t score much, but he’s hit some big threes this season. Nails this one to give Yale the lead.

Mullin leads Yale with 15 points, Bulldogs still down two. This could be a tight one.

Good to be at Cornell for the Ivy championship. No. 1 Yale playing No. 3 Penn for a spot in March Madness. Stay tuned for coverage on X and @yaledailynews !

Power drains another 3 and Yale's James Jones calls timeout. The junior transfer is up to 23 points and there's still 3:44 to go in the first half.

HALFTIME: Yale 39, Penn 41 The Bulldogs led by nine midway through the half but have had no answer for Penn's TJ Power, who has 23 points. Yale just 3/9 from deep. Trevor Mullin leads the Elis with 10 points.

Will be interesting to see if Yale's James Jones makes any defensive adjustments on 6'9 TJ Power. 6'6 Nick Townsend has been guarding him most possessions.

Aletan, Celiscar, Mullin, Townsend, Simmons the starting 5 for Yale. Penn’s Ethan Roberts is out with concussion symptoms.

About half capacity so far at Yale-Penn Ivy championship in Ithaca, NY. The Yale-Cornell game was packed with Cornell fan and Ithaca locals. 15 min until tip-off.
