Yale is 14-5 in its last 19 games, winning last three tourney games on the road; Bulldogs held high-powered VMI to 62 points Tuesday, playing only one guy more than 27:00. Yale is 10-8 outside the Ivies. Murray St won 17 of last 21 games after starting season 5-8; they scored 89.7 ppg in winning last three games, all at home. Racers are 7-7 outside the OVC; they played played only one guy more than 29:00 Tuesday, when they made 13-25 from the arc in easy win home win over Pacific.
SMU was team most slighted by getting left out of NCAAs, they lost twice to Louisville, by 13-8 points, now they face Minnesota team that is coached by Richard Pitino-- I'm guessing he has an excellent scouting report on SMU. Mustangs allowed 61.3 ppg in winning first four games in this tournament; they only used two guys more than 24:00 Tuesday, winning game they trailed by 13 in second half. Gophers' four wins in NIT were all by 8 or less points; they played three guys 39:00+ in OT win over Florida State Tuesday
