Green head to N.Y. for two games

By Austin Zalkin | March 2, 2000

Coming off losses to the Ivy League's top two teams in Hanover, the Dartmouth men's basketball team (8-17, 4-8) will face the third- and last-place teams this weekend in New York State. Tomorrow night the Big Green will battle to stay out of the Ancient Eight cellar when they take on Cornell (10-15, 3-9). The Big Red, like the Green, were expected to finish near the top of the standings before the year began, but instead have struggled to win at all. Until winning twice at home last weekend, the Big Red had only garnered a single League victory.
