Yale wins upset victory over Auburn in March Madness

 

Yale’s remarkable victory over Auburn in yesterday’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament was nothing short of sensational. As the No. 13 seed facing the formidable No. 4 seed Auburn, Yale entered the game as the clear underdog, yet came out with force and left with a win.

Led by John Poulakidas, whose standout performance included a career-high 28 points, Yale displayed exceptional skill and resilience throughout the game. Despite trailing by seven points at halftime, the Bulldogs remained composed and left with the upset victory.

Six, three-pointers including clutch play with 2 minutes left

 

One of the defining moments of the match was Poulakidas’ incredible shooting display, sinking six 3-pointers, including a clutch go-ahead shot with just 2 minutes left on the clock. This pivotal play not only shifted the momentum in Yale’s favor but also showcased their ability to thrive under pressure and give God the glory for it.

“I give all credit to the Man above you know my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” shared guard Poulakidas whose performance led the team to victory. Poulakidas also thanked his teammates. “You know we started together today and it was a full team after I know I led us in scoring but everybody made contributions it wasn’t a one-man show.”

Yale will faceoff against San Diego State tomorrow in round 2 of March Madness.
