Notes
– Harvard forward Pat Magnarelli played just one minute before falling to the floor with a knee injury behind his basket and being helped off the floor. He scored 17 points in just 20 minutes in the first meeting between the teams. After being taken to the locker room, he spent the rest of the game on a training table beyond the end of the Harvard bench with his knee being iced.
– Harvard shot a season-low 34.6 percent from the field. The Crimson is just the second team to shoot under 40 percent against Dartmouth this year. The only other one was Division III Daniel Webster (31.9 percent).
– Barnett had four assists but would have had double that — or more — if the Big Green had been able to hit its shots when the forward drove to the hoop and dumped the ball off to teammates for easy opportunities.
– Harvard had just five assists to 17 turnovers.
– Dartmouth was 12-for-15 from the line while Harvard was 17-for-26. Fitzgerald, a 77.8 percent free throw shooter coming in, was just 1-for-6 on the night.
– The Big Green was 5-for-10 from outside the arc while Harvard was 3-for-16.
– Jeremy Lin scored 14 of his 16 points for Harvard in the second half while Evan Harris scored 10 of his 16 from the foul line.
– Dartmouth snapped a four-game losing streak and improved to 4-1 at home.
– Dartmouth’s 36-26 lead at the half was the result of an 18-8 advantage in scoring in the paint. That work in close helped the Big Green shoot 57.1 percent in the first 20 minutes.
– Dartmouth coach Terry Dunn started his 13th different lineup in 14 games.
