NCAA preview
If you need one advantageous stat for each team, here you go:
For Yale, the Elis have the upper hand at the faceoff X. Conor Mackie ranks seventh in the country this year with a .633 win percentage, and he was the only player to figure out Albany's otherwise spotless TD Ierlan. He's got the size and the skills to dictate an entire game at the X.
For Duke, the Blue Devils wield one of the most efficient offenses in the country. They convert 37.3 percent of their shots, a whole 4.4 percent better than Yale. That doesn't seem like a terribly high in the grand scheme — after all, Yale ranks 11th in the country in shot percentage — but in what should be a tight and high-powered offensive game, 4.4 percent could end up being the difference.
