Playoff chances still alive, barely

By Jeffrey Beyer | March 3, 1995

The cryptic playoff picture in the ECAC will be finalized for good this weekend, the last one of the regular season. As convoluted as it is, there is a scenario that would allow twelfth-place Dartmouth to get into the postseason dance. To make the playoffs Dartmouth must first win both of their games this weekend, against Princeton and Yale and hope the Union Skating Dutchmen lose both their games on the road, against Colgate and Cornell. This would lift Dartmouth into a tenth-place tie with Union. The first tiebreaker is head-to-head record, which would not break the tie, since the Dartmouth-Union season series ended tied 1-1. The second tiebreaker is composite points against the Top 4 league teams.

By David Hemmer | March 2, 1995

James Blackwell '91 signed a 10-day contract with the National Basketball Association's Boston Celtics Tuesday, beefing up the Celtic's beleaguered collection of point guards.

The injuries left the Celtics with only one point guard, Sherman Douglas. This is Blackwell's second stint in the NBA.
