Yale Basketball Schedule
Yale Sports Publicity
Yale’s already
challenging 2005-06 schedule has gotten a little more difficult.
The Bulldogs will play perennial power Kansas at historic Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 4 at 7 p.m. The Jayhawks have made 34 NCAA
Tournament appearances and are the third winningest program in
all of college basketball.
“The addition of Kansas to the schedule gives us the opportunity
to play one of the nation’s elite programs for the third
straight year,” said James Jones, the Joel E. Smilow, Class of
1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball. “It will be an exciting
challenge.”
The Bulldogs played Connecticut in 2003-04 and Wake Forest last
year, both of whom were ranked No. 1 in the country at the time
of the game. Kansas went 23-7 overall in 2004-05 and tied for
the Big 12 regular season title.
Yale and Kansas have played only once before, a 63-54 KU victory
in the first round of the 1975 Jayhawk Classic.
In addition, Yale and Fairfield have agreed to extend the series
between the two schools. The original agreement was set to
expire following the 2005-06 season. The Bulldogs and Stags were
scheduled to play on Jan. 5, 2006, but a conflict arose.
Fairfield and Yale have met 20 times, including each of the last
three years. The series began during the 1976-77 campaign and
continued for the next 15 seasons. After the 1997-98 meeting,
the series took a brief hiatus until it resumed for the 2002-03
campaign.
