March Madness doesn’t arrive for two weeks, but there was already a mad mood Saturday night in Yale’s John J. Lee Amphitheater. The men’s basketball team is having what could be a banner year; their win last Saturday, 80-60 over Harvard, gave them a measure of control this coming weekend, when another win at home will clinch at least a share of the Ivy League season title. So the stakes were pretty high.

Plus, it was Harvard.
