In response to GoBigGreenBasketball
After 4 straight wins, including one against BU, it would have been great if the Green dominated Bryant and UNH - two of the statistically weakest teams in the country. Following the surprise loss to Bryant, it was good that Dartmouth came back from an 8 point deficit with 13-14 minutes to go in the 2nd half.
Good defense (20-9 rebounding edge), 2 point shooting from Rai & Knight (3 baskets each and Knight playing in foul trouble) and FT shooting (23-28 vs 8-9) made the difference in the 2nd half.
Sistare ended with 21 points, a career high and Rai finished with 13 points, a season high.
I certainly understand the earlier point about the lack of bench production, but it is good that each of the Dartmouth starters has the ability to take over a game.
Hopefully, they get back in pre-holiday form as they head to Vermont and get ready for Harvard.
