| Keys to the Game |
| Key sequence |
Dragutin Kravic found John Baumann for a layup to bring Columbia to within four midway through the second half. Paul Bode answered with a jumper for the Big Green, and the Lions’ Justin Armstrong gave it back to Dartmouth. Mike Lang missed on a three-pointer, but Johnathan Ball grabbed the offensive rebound. Lang dished to Chuck Flynn inside for a layup and foul on Brett Loscalzo. Flynn converted the free throw, then Lang stole the ball from Loscalzo at the other end. Flynn missed a jumper, but Bode got the offensive board and was fouled by Ben Nwachukwu. Bode hit one of two at the line and suddenly Dartmouth had a double digit lead. |
