Danny Wolf is living the dream. After realizing (and making everyone realize) how good he is thanks to an amazing European championship with the reserve team eight months ago, Wolff celebrated tonight (Friday Saturday) a sensational victory with Yale University, 76:78 over Auburn in the first round of the NCAA tournament. How extraordinary is this achievement? This is the second time in Yale’s history that it has won the tournament.
“Wolfi” wasn’t at his peak, but provided some great moments and finished with 13 points (4-for-15 from the field, 1-for-5 from three, 4-for-5 from the penalty), 5 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal until he got five fouls about half a minute to the end. Unlike the brutal moment in the final of the European Championship against France, this time the tall one did not get confused from the line and with 4 of 4 free throws in the clutch helped the “Bulldogs” stun the “Tigers” who were ranked 4 and were among the leading candidates for the win. John Folakidas had the game of his life with 28 points on 10-of-15 from the field.
“Wolf Wiener”, responded in the United States. “He had a bad shooting night, but still managed to keep his cool in the money-time and showed what he’s made of. He also showed off his special passing arsenal and proved why he’s being talked about as a player who might make it to the NBA in the future. However – he’s the best player in Yale, he will have to improve against San Diego State (ranked 5) on Sunday so that his team can continue to dream. It stunned all of America today and put the university on the basketball map.”
Yale coach James Jones He stated at the end: “Auburn is the best team Yale has ever beaten, they have talented players and are well coached.” The opponent’s coach Bruce Pearlwho visited Israel with his team in the summer of 2022, saluted Wolf: As a Jewish-American I am proud of him, he is one of the greatest Jewish players in America.”
NBA legend and Auburn graduate, Charles Barkley, was not indifferent to the crazy game: “Well done to them, you have to give them credit. We led by 10 with 7 minutes to go, but Yale scored hard baskets. I didn’t believe that a Bulldog could beat a Tiger. They deserved to win.” Fellow panelist and former player Kenny Smith berated “Chuck” after the surprise win, when he waved a Yale flag.

8 months ago, Danny Wolf missed a brutal penalty that could have given the reserves a win in the European Championship at the expense of France, and at the end, he burst into tears.
Today Wolf went 4-for-4 from the line in the clutch en route to Yale’s sensational victory over Auburn in the first round of the March Maddens.
