Keys to the Game
Key sequence	Trailing 55-40 with just over five minutes remaining, Dartmouth came alive with back-to-back three-pointers from DeVon Mosley and Leon Pattman. After a UNH triple, Alex Barnett hit a jumpshot and Mosley hit two more threes to cap a 14-3 blitz that saw Dartmouth go 4-for-4 from outside the arc and make five consecutive shots. The torrid stretch brought the Big Green to within 58-54 with 1:46 left.
Key sign it was over	Jermaine Anderson nailed two free throws with 16.3 seconds left to give UNH a 63-58 lead, only to see Pattman hoist up an off-balance three from the right foul line extended to get the Big Green within 63-61 with eight seconds to play. Fouled immediately, Anderson (an 83-percent free throw shooter) made both of his attempts to make it a two-possession game, 65-61, with five seconds left.
Key performance	Anderson singlehandedly held off Dartmouth’s late charge, scoring the final 10 points of the evening for New Hampshire. The guard hit a big three-pointer with 3:57 remaining and went 7-for-7 from the foul line in the final 36 seconds, finishing the night with a game-high 21 points to go with six assists and four rebounds.
Key statistic	After hitting its first four shots of the second half to go up by 21 points, UNH was shooting 20 of 28 (71.4 percent) on the night.

Dartmouth’s late surge boosted its final shooting numbers to 25 of 59 (42.4 percent).
