March Madness is finally here as teams across the nation finalize their Conference Tournaments. The Ivy League proved to be a fun contest, as usual, as the championship between Yale basketball and Brown came down to the wire!
The Bulldogs ended up winning by hitting a buzzer-beater in the closing seconds of the game. After securing the win, Yale is officially dancing in the NCAA Tournament.

What a win for the Yale basketball program. The buzzer-beater clinched the seventh NCAA Tournament bid in school history and its fourth since 2016. It's safe to say the nation is sleeping on head coach James Jones, as he's been the Bulldogs coach since 1999.
Additionally, this win likely gives the Ivy League its best chance in the March Madness bracket, according to AP Sports writer Noah Trister. Yale basketball has the talent and potential of advancing several rounds this year, whereas Brown would have been a 16 seed.
“The Ivy dodged a bit of a bullet here. Brown would have been a 16 seed while Yale is a real threat to win a game or two.”
Yale basketball was one of the better teams in the Ivy League this season. They finished third in the rankings and held a regular season record of 22-9. It's not entirely clear which seed they'll hold in the big dance. However, the Bulldogs have true upset potential and could be a Cinderella team this year.
With that said, keep an eye on this team once the March Madness bracket is finalized. Depending on the seeding they could be a fun team in the tournament.
