| Keys to the Game |
| Key sequence |
Dartmouth led 57-51 with just over two minutes left, when Justin Conway scored his 16th and 17th points of the night on a layup to make it a four-point game. Cal Arnold missed a three-pointer and John Ball grabbed the rebound, but Luke Owings stole the ball from him. At the other end, Scott Greenman found Owings for a three-pointer to cut the Big Green lead to one. After another Dartmouth turnover, Edwin Buffmire posted up Leon Pattman and got the bucket and a foul, hitting the free throw to put Princeton up two with 33.9 seconds left. Pattman tried to tie the game at the other end, but Buffmire got a hand on the shot and Owings collected the rebound. |
| Key sign it was over |
In an almost identical end sequence to the teams’ prior meeting in Hanover two weeks ago, Mike Lang hit a three-pointer with four seconds left to cut Princeton’s lead to one. Owings hit both free throws with three seconds left, and Dartmouth threw a long pass into the frontcourt. Ball caught the pass just outside the three-point arc, but rushed the potential game-tying shot and Owings grabbed the rebound to clinch the win. |
