Who won Brandeis Judges vs Yale Bulldogs?

Yale Bulldogs beat Brandeis Judges 79-61 at John J. Lee Amphitheater on December 3, 2025.

In a commanding performance, the Yale Bulldogs triumphed over the Brandeis Judges with a final score of 79-61 at the John J. Lee Amphitheater. This victory extends Yale's impressive home record to 4-1 this season and contributes to their overall record of 9-1, showcasing their strong start in the NCAAB season.

Yale entered the game on a five-game winning streak, having scored an average of 88.5 points per game while allowing 72.8. Their recent form has been particularly striking, as they have averaged 87.6 points in their last five games, with a scoring margin that reflects their offensive prowess. In their previous match, Yale dominated the SUNY Maritime Privateers, winning decisively 117-53, which set the tone for their performance against Brandeis.

In contrast, Brandeis came into this game looking to improve their season record but faced a formidable opponent. The Judges have struggled on the road, and their performance against Yale reflected their challenges away from home. The scoring plays of the game highlighted Yale's offensive strength, with Daniel Ogunyemi making significant contributions, including a dunk and a layup that helped solidify Yale's lead in the second half.

The scoring plays were pivotal, particularly in the second half, where Yale maintained control of the game. After a layup by Alex Zakheim brought Brandeis to 54 points, Ogunyemi responded with a free throw and a dunk, pushing Yale's score to 75. The Bulldogs continued to build their lead, with contributions from players like JJ Hayes and Ryan Weiss, who both made key baskets down the stretch.

In terms of injuries, the block did not provide specific details, but both teams typically face challenges that can affect performance. The absence of key players can often shift the dynamics of a game, but in this instance, Yale's depth and home-court advantage were evident.

The market had priced Yale as the clear favorite, with a final home win probability of 1.0, reflecting their strong record and recent form. This match was not only a test for Brandeis but also an opportunity for Yale to assert their dominance in the league.

Overall, the Bulldogs demonstrated their capability to score efficiently and defend effectively, making them a team to watch as the season progresses. The conditions in the amphitheater were conducive to a high-energy game, and the home crowd certainly played a part in Yale's success. With this win, Yale continues to build momentum, while Brandeis will need to regroup and address their road performance moving forward.
