Yale - UIC

Jurys still out on UIC with sites conflicting on their rankings. (Kenpom has them at 220, Bart at 167). Difficult to predict teams this early in the season especially ones that are so transfer heavy/new coach.

Yale looked impressive vs Quinnipiac but hard to know how much to read into the win with the astounding rebounding difference (55% OReb). Think the success of this Yale team this season comes down to the auxiliary shooting pieces. Can Townsend/Mbeng/Fox(?) shoot well enough to create the space needed for the offense to succeed?

Brutal game. Not a whole lot of positives to take from it. Struggled to keep up with UIC in transition who seems to be underrated due to their immense transfer portal roster.

Celiscar and Fox seem like hits. Celiscar has been phenomenal in the early going. Yale needs more from Aletan if this season is going to be a success, has been invisible on the floor.
