Conference Record: Cornell 2-4, Dartmouth 0-6. Series Record: Dartmouth leads 98-86.
GAME NOTES: The Dartmouth Big Green return home tonight after a five-game road trip and will try for their first Ivy league victory of the season when they tangle with the Cornell Big Red. The Big Red enter the game on a four-game skid, including a 67-49 setback to Princeton last Saturday. With the slide Cornell has erased a quick 2-0 start in the Ivy League and has dropped to 7-12 overall. As for Dartmouth, it has lost 10 consecutive contests with the most recent coming to Brown, 61-53 last weekend. The Big Green are now 0-6 in the Ivy and a disappointing 4-15 overall. Dartmouth leads the all-time series against Cornell, 98-86, with the Big Red taking the last meeting 70-61 in Hanover.
Cornell shot a respectable 47.4 percent from the field, but its 25 turnovers proved to be costly as it was defeated 67-49 by Princeton. The Tigers knocked in a solid 52.2 percent of their total shots and eight three-pointers to Cornell's six from long range. The Big Red held a slight 24-22 rebounding advantage while Princeton took an 11-7 edge in free-throw points. Ka'Ron Barnes was the only Big Red player who scored double-digit points in the defeat with 19 on 6-of-8 shooting from the field and 3-of-4 from behind the arc. Cornell is led on the season by Eric Taylor, who turns in 13.6 ppg and 7.2 ppg while connecting on 56.4 percent from the floor. Barnes chips in 12.2 ppg on 43.1 percent shooting, while Cody Toppert adds 10.7 ppg and 4.5 rpg.
The Big Red have had trouble producing points this season with just 60.8 ppg on 43.1 percent shooting from the floor overall.
Charles Harris leads Dartmouth on the season with 12.9 ppg on 45.4 percent shooting from the field. Harris is the only player who is averaging double- digit points on the season for the Big Green, who are putting up just 60.4 ppg on a 42.1 percent shooting effort. In the team's last contest, Dartmouth was outscored from the free-throw line 18-6, and was guilty of 18 turnovers in a 61-53 setback to Brown. The Big Green shot 40.4 percent from the floor in the game, while the Bears hit only 37.3 percent of their total shots. Neither team shot well from three-point land with Dartmouth converting 6-of-22 and Brown just 5-of-15. Mike McLaren paced the Big Green in defeat with 12 points on 4- of-7 shooting from long range, coming off the bench. Michael Lang pulled down a team-high six rebounds to go along with 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field in the losing effort.
Both teams are coming into the game on losing streaks which have put them at the bottom of the Ivy League. The nod goes to Cornell tonight, as the team has won a few games on the road and should be able to defeat a dismal Dartmouth squad in what will surely be a low-scoring affair.
Predicted Outcome: Cornell 50, Dartmouth 40
