The team's efficiency is evident in their rankings, with their offense ranked 89th in the nation and their defense ranked 93rd.

Overall, Yale has a power ranking of 25 and is ranked 129th in offense and 46th in defense. They have a record of 16-6 and have performed well against the spread. Offensively, the team shoots well from the field and the free-throw line, but their three-point shooting is average. They also excel in rebounding and offensive assists, but need to reduce turnovers. Defensively, Yale defends the field goal and three-point shots effectively, but struggles with free throws. They are strong in defensive rebounds and have a decent number of defensive assists, but also commit turnovers. AND 1 🥶😤 @MattKnowling #ThisIsYale | #ProtectJLA pic.twitter.com/QBJjPF9ZFd
