The first 300 students who attend the women's basketball game against Harvard at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday will received a free t-shirt, entitling them to free dinner from Margaritas when worn at the men's hockey game at 7:00 p.m. that night.

THIS TIME OUT... Game Number: 811. Dartmouth turns its full attention to the Ivy slate, kicking off the balance of the season with its second game against Harvard. This marks just the third time in program history that the Ivy rivals have played each other in consecutive conference games. The Big Green is going for the season sweep of the Crimson after taking a 52-47 win on Jan. 5 in Cambridge.

LAST TIME OUT... Once again Dartmouth battled a major conference opponent to the wire but had no luck late as the Big Green lost in overtime at ACC foe Virginia Tech, 80-73. The Hokies forced overtime with a late bucket and went 11-15 from the free-throw line in overtime to ice the win.

NEXT TIME OUT... The Big Green continues a five-game Ivy homestand when it hosts Princeton on Friday, Feb. 1 and Penn on Saturday, Feb. 2 both at 7:00 p.m.

QUICK HITS
? Dartmouth starts a five-game homestand tonight after being on the road for 10 of its first 15 contests.

? The Big Green was just three points away from having six players in double figures at Virginia Tech. Four players reached the 10+ point mark while Margaret Smith scored nine and Sydney Scott had eight.

? The Big Green scored a season-high 73 points in the loss at Virginia Tech but also allowed an opponent season-high 80 points by the Hokies.

? Dartmouth was outrebounded, 36-32, at Virginia Tech (when both teams shot 44.8 percent from the floor.), snapping a five-game streak in which the Big Green had held a rebounding advantage. Dartmouth is still +1.7 in that category for the season.

? The Big Green held a 30-28 lead at halftime before losing at Virginia Tech and is now 3-3 in games when it is leading at the half.
