6 to 12 inches of snow expected in Hanover.
Another postponed game?

That's a snow flurry in Hanover.

True, but I recall reading on another board that Harvard cheats on stuff like this.

5 to 10 inches expected in Hanover, with 45Mph winds and then some rain before freezing this evening.

If the team didn’t bus to Hanover yesterday I don’t see it happening.

Columbia already decided yesterday it wasn’t traveling to Cornell. Another conspiracy theory due to the Lions injuries? Don’t think so.

I’m assuming only 6 of 8 games get played this weekend. Seems to be the norm. Frankly, as we work our way through the 3rd week in January more games will have been played compared to past years. We may need that cushion. Alarmed at the number of injuries to key players around the league. Hopefully, teams get healthy into February and we can have a Tournament (with fans).

I think it’s inevitable that (virtually) every team will be in the chase for a top 4 spot a week in the final 2 weeks of the regular season. Normally, that might help sell tickets and get students enthused. Now I expect it might just sell ESPN+/Disney packages and more posts on certain forums here.

I'm really surprised, although radar shows snow ending in Hanover by 2pm and no more snowfall on the trip between Cambridge and Hanover

Wonder who is playing tonight. Really need Ledlum and could use Forbes. Tretout provides depth but too many TO's and poor shooting.

Looks like like Ledlum and Forbes aren't dressed. Not sure about Tretout, who isn't starting so likely isn't available.

Dartmouth goes inside on first possessions. No surprise.

Harvard has to shoot well tonight.
Good start: 5-7 on 3’s
Up 24-18

If Dartmouth doesn't start playing better, the combined point loss for both of our teams today against Harvard could rival whatever the biggest total currently is.

Ok! At least we're within single digits at the half!

Huge sequence by Kirkwood. After our offense had died and Dartmouth had cut it to 4, Kirkwood hit a 3 and then drew a charge. He's been everything for us.

Big weekend sweep severely short handed.
After starting 5-6 from 3, only 3-18 thereafter.
Dartmouth 17-18 on FT’s led their comeback.
Short bench wears down and fortunate to hang on.

Single game at Cornell next weekend. Hope that Ledlum, Forbes & Tretout are recovering.

Have a safe snowy bus trip home!

To fully understand Kirkwood's 24 points and 5 assists, you should know that he held Aaron Rai to 4 points, well below his average of 12ppg.

Noah is going to help some Power 5 team next year.

Really lucky to escape with a W. My son was watching in the car for most of the second half so I only had audio but seemed like we settled for long 3s deep in the shot clock. Only scored 11 points the last 17 minutes of the game and only 3 the last 7. Need more bodies on both ends of the court to get through the gauntlet that is coming in a couple of weeks.

And yes we’ve asked more of Noah than any player I recall in the Amaker era. He’s delivering.

Thanks for highlighting the second half. Too many times Dartmouth has made halftime adjustments at Hanover and pulled out a victory. Big Green outscored Harvard 28-21 in the second half despite only making 6 shots from the field, including 1-15 on 3's. I recall that too many of those were wide open.

As I said, we were lucky not to be swept this weekend. Our short rotation included Evan Nelson playing significant minutes (23 and 13) in his first two collegiate games. Hemmings and Simon look somewhat lost out there in their first games as well. To think that we're winning with Kirkwood, Catchings, Sakota, Wojcik, Lesmond and Silverstein is incredible.

Against Columbia, I believe we only won because Columbia was missing key players as well. Freshmen played 112 our of our 180 minutes. Our 3 non-freshmen (Kirkwood, Sakota and Catchings) scored 60 of our 91 points.

Against Dartmouth freshmen played 87 minutes and those same non-freshmen scored 39 of 60 points.

Our short bench shows. Against Columbia a 15 point lead was trimmed to 7 in the closing minutes and Dartmouth similarly reduced a 13 point deficit to a single point. Our scoring and shooting remained strong in the second half against Columbia, but dropped off significantly in the second half at Dartmouth.

I hope we see Ledlum, Forbes, Tretout and/or Freedman in next weekend's single game at Cornell. It doesn't seem that Ajogbor or Pitcher are close. If the Big Red revert to OOC form, they could push the action for 40 minutes and press full court. Fortunately, this is not the tail end of a back to back weekend, but rather just a single game.

We follow that up with a single home game weekend against Penn on January 28th. I'd consider us very fortunate to be 3-2 (give or take a game), given the decimated roster and having played 3 road contests.

On the other hand, if we're not relatively healthy following that Penn game, we're in trouble with 3 games in 6 days at Brown and vs Yale (2x).

Sooner or later, we have to get healthy. We won't be totally healthy, but we need Ledlum and Forbes.
