Men's basketball falls to Harvard 63-62 with disputed call

Andy Foust / The Dartmouth Staff Dartmouth's men's basketball team dropped its 2008-2009 Ivy League opener to Harvard on Saturday, as a disputed no-foul call at the buzzer raised questions about Harvard's slim 63-62 victory. With less than five minutes left on the clock, Ronnie Dixon '11 stole the ball at midcourt and banked an uncontested shot to give Dartmouth (2-11, 0-1 Ivy) a 57-53 advantage. After claiming the lead, however, the Big Green allowed Harvard (9-6, 1-0 Ivy) to answer back with six straight points, all from senior guard,Andrew Pusar.

Basketball loses to Lehigh to wrap up three-game home stand

|

Big Green men's basketball fell to Lehigh University, 73-60, on Saturday in Leede Arena to finish off a three-game home stand with one win and two losses. Lehigh (5-1, 0-0 Patriot) played a balanced game against the Big Green (1-4, 0-0 Ivy), managing to keep Dartmouth's leading scorer, forward Alex Barnett '09, at bay. Barnett finished the game shooting only four of 19 from the field for a total of nine points, 14 below his season average. Barnett was not the only Big Green player stifled by the Mountain Hawks' defense.
