Yale also has been encouraged by the return of junior guard Chris Leanza, who missed most of the nonconference schedule recovering from shoulder surgery. While Leanza has not returned to his former position as a starter, Crimson players remember his efforts against them in 2001 and refer to Leanza as the “x-factor” in the contest...
