Fabulous comeback by the Big Green, rallying from 17 down to within 1 against Princeton. They had two chances to win it in the final seconds, but missed by inches. Princeton wins by 3.
Chris Knight was phenomenal. 27 points on 13-18 shooting against Princeton's Aririguzoh, who is supposed to be (and is) a monster defender. Knight also grabbed 12 boards.
Aaryn Rai used his Euros and his spins to drop in 17, mostly in the second half.
Dartmouth had several other people play (they were collectively 6-27 from the field.
This is the team that many picked to finish in the top half of the league this season. It's unfortunate that they showed up late to the dance.

Not going to win many games in which your bench gets outscored 20-2.

As I said, teams like Dartmouth don't have the depth as HYPP. Hence, the loss of one impact guy (this season, Barry) is the difference between 3-7 and 6-4.
And not to take anything away from Knight (he's awesome and had yet another tremendous game), but has he hit any game winners for us at Dartmouth? This is the third time I can recall that he wasn't able to convert in the final seconds...

Rai is the go to guy in those instances. Gotta get him the ball.
