Yale sweeps Brown, giving James Jones his 300th career win
Q&A with Yale coach Allison Guth
Ivy Hoops Online: Congrats on the recent tourney win in Boca. How does it feel to take home two trophies in 2018 (after winning the WBI championship in March)?
Allison Guth: Feels excellent to take home the hardware in any tournament … We care about setting our sights to the only tournament that matters right now, and that’s the Ivy Tournament.

Q&A with Yale coach Allison Guth
We caught up with Yale women’s basketball coach Allison Guth, who is embarking on her fourth season helming the Bulldogs and fresh off a recent contract extension through the 2023-24 season.
Ivy Hoops Online: Not many teams have an opportunity to win their last game of the season. Yale did last year, winning the WBI. What was that experience like?
Allison Guth: Anytime your team can experience a “one and done” tournament setting is a benefit to the growth of your program. Having your back against the wall and needing to get the “W” to advance proves a mental toughness and fortitude. Our team was able to grow as a result of winning one in a row four times to earn a postseason championship.
IHO: You did suffer some major graduation losses. Can you assess how that impacts the team?
Q&A with Yale coach James Jones
JJ: We were approached by the Pac-12 with this once in a lifetime opportunity, and it was an experience we couldn’t pass on.
Yale to replace Rutgers in Big Ten Conference
It was announced yesterday by Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany that the composition of the Big Ten Conference was going to change.
Rutgers, a member since 2014, has been asked to leave the conference effective Jan. 1, 2019 and Yale will be joining the conference on that same date.
Rutgers has finished near the bottom in football, men’s and even women’s basketball since joining the conference.
The New Jersey school has suffered some humiliating defeats in football, including but are not limited to a 58-0 loss to Ohio State, 58-0, a 78-0 loss to Michigan and a 49-0 loss to Michigan State, just in 2016 alone.
Yale, on the other hand, is coming off of highly successful seasons in all three sports, highlighted by the 2017 Ivy championship.
