California Davis at Dartmouth

The bad news for Dartmouth last season was that they suffered through a lot of injuries. The good news is that it allowed many players to gain valuable experience, as they return eight players with starting experience. Despite the injury bug, the only Ivy League game they were not competitive in at home was vs Cornell, a 13 point loss. They return three starters and a lot of depth, and have played well on their home-court. UC Davis certainly can't lay claims to being a road warrior. They are currently 0-3 on the road, and that includes a loss at Ivy league Brown by 16, their last time out. That 16 point loss to Brown is nothing new. UC Davis, and this nucleus of players has gone 1-17 on the road in the last year+. They have been out-scored by 15.3 ppg in those games. They were also 0-2 in neutral-court games last year, so 1-19 last 20 away from home. If you go back two years, they are 3-30 on the road, getting out-scored by 15 per game. This is an experienced and improved Dartmouth team, that should have the ability to control the boards, and the game vs a UC Davis team that just doesn't travel well.
