The Bears made 5 of their last 6 free throws in the final 45.6 seconds to snap Yale's three-game winning streak.
Eric Flato led Yale with a season-high 24 points while Russ Morin chipped in with 18.

Brown's win avenged a 66-63 overtime loss to Yale in the league opener on Jan. 19 and prevented the Bulldogs from going 2-0 in Ivy play for the first time since the 2001-02 season.
