Dartmouth men's basketball struggled throughout its home opener in Leede Arena last night, falling 73-54 to the University of Vermont.
Despite a 13-point loss last Saturday at home against Penn, Dartmouth men's basketball has good reason for confidence going into this weekend's games at Brown and Yale. For one, the Big Green defeated Princeton, Penn's Ivy League co-leader, last Friday night while their best scorer, Greg Buth '01, was held to just eight points.
In winning three straight games, Dartmouth men's basketball has ridden the coattails of its once-again dominant pair of senior co-captains. Center Ian McGinnis '01 pulled down 16 rebounds Wednesday night at Albany after grabbing 13 last Saturday versus the same Great Danes in Hanover and 10 at home against Colgate four days before that.
Despite dropping two more Ivy League games over the weekend, several Dartmouth men's basketball players showed improvement that could bode well for the remainder of the season. Ian McGinnis '01, the team co-captain and starting center who led the nation in rebounding at over 12 per game in 1998, pulled down 10 rebounds Friday night against Brown and 15 on Saturday versus Yale.

Two Dartmouth men's teams discovered yesterday they will be competing in their respective NCAA tournaments.
