On a night where the Macs desperately needed to reset their season’s momentum, Yeshiva delivered a disciplined, physical, and balanced performance on the road. After a sloppy first half from both sides, the Macs tightened up defensively, cleaned up their halfcourt execution, and rode a dominant second half to a convincing 71–46 win over Purchase.

Behind Yoav Oselka’s two-way brilliance and Zevi Samet’s historic 2,000th career point, the Macs showed flashes of the cohesion and identity that had been missing through their brutal non-conference gauntlet. By the final buzzer, YU’s depth, energy, and defensive pressure overwhelmed a young Purchase roster still trying to find its footing.
