The Blue Devils, however, would go cold from the field, as the Bulldogs used an 18-1 run over the next seven minutes to tie the game 64-64 with 7:19 on the clock. Central went eight minutes without a field goal, shooting 0-for-5 from the field and turning the ball over four times in that stretch.
Meanwhile, Yale made 15-of-27 from the field in the second half and 19-of-26 from the free-throw line to move to 1-0 on the season. Justin Sears ended the game with 26 points and 13 rebounds. He was 10-of-17 from the field.
