Preview: Yale Bulldogs vs. Marine City Mariners
Yale has played every game this season on their home court, but they'll have to hit the road on Tuesday. They will square off against the Marine City Mariners at 7:00 p.m. Yale will be strutting in after a win while Marine City will be coming in after a loss.
Last Friday, Yale earned a 64-51 victory over Sandusky. 64 seems to be a good number for Yale as the team scooped up a win with the same number of points in their previous game.
Meanwhile, Marine City came up short against Clintondale on Friday and fell 50-40. Marine City has struggled against Clintondale recently, as their contest on Friday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Marine City's loss came about despite a quality game from Liam Adams, who scored 17 points along with 9 rebounds. Adams is absolutely dominating the rebound category: he's posted at least eight every time he's taken the court this season. Cole Forest was another key contributor, scoring 7 points.
Their wins bumped Yale to 2-0 and Sandusky to 1-3.
Everything went Yale's way against Marine City in their previous matchup back in December of 2022 as Yale made off with a 51-31 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Yale since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
