Dartmouth at Harvard

The Harvard Crimson Tide have established themselves as the top team in the Ivy since Tommy Amaker took the reigns. This may not be his best team, but the Crimson can still play, but the margin has diminished at least for the time being. Harvard struggled in their last game vs. Bryant, trailing deep into the second half, before pulling away late for a 9 point win. They needed OT to win at Vermont, and have lost to Holy Cross. Dartmouth has long been the cellar dweller in the Ivy League, but are on the improve finishing #6 a year ago. The Big Green is steadily improving, and has gone 6-4 over their last 10 games, something we have not seen from this team in quite some time. The Big Green often times found themselves unable to score in Ivy play, but last year scored 67+ in half their conference tilts, and I think the scoring gap has diminished between these clubs. Dartmouth has played five of their last six in the conference OVER the total, a testament to their better scoring ability. The road team has been 7-1-1 ATS in the last nine in this series, and Harvard won at Dartmouth already, and doubt this game brings the best they have to offer to the floor. Play on Dartmouth and the OVER.
