Yale vs Gonzaga Preview
Jordan Prather-USA TODAY SportsWho has the cooler Bulldog mascot, Gonzaga or Yale? Easy answer.
Gonzaga may have won its last five season openers by an average of 31.5 PPG but Yale is not an ideal team to open up the 2023-2024 campaign with. The Bulldogs are the favorite to win the Ivy League after returning an experienced group from last season (nearly 75% of its scoring output is coming back). To be exact, Yale returns four double-figure scorers from a 21-win squad last season. A win for the Zags over Yale could be a big piece to their NCAA tournament resume down the road.
