Men's Basketball Sees Loss to Cornell

ITHACA, N.Y. ? Dartmouth men's basketball fell 75-59 to the Cornell Big Red on Friday, Feb. 29, when it took on the Big Red in Newman Arena.
Sophomore Elgin Fitzgerald (Colorado Springs, Colo.) put a team-high 15 points on the board for the Big Green with one assist. Junior Alex Barnett (St. Louis, Mo.) pulled down a game-high seven rebounds, followed by Fitzgerald and captain Johnathan Ball (Memphis, Tenn.)) with four apiece.
Defense ruled as the game began. Although the Big Green did not score until nearly two minutes in, Cornell had even more difficulty sinking its first shot. At 15:57 left to play, the score was still just 4-4.
From then on, Cornell was able to stay ahead of Dartmouth for most of the first half, but the Big Green was never far behind.
Although a trey from Ronnie Dixon (Danville, Ill.) tied the game up at 26 with 2:25 left to play, the Big Red was able to pull ahead again. Still, it was still anyone's game, as the Big Green trailed by just five going into halftime, 32-27.
Cornell came out strong in the second half, however, quickly driving up the score. By 9:25 left to play, the Big Red had built up a 21-point margin, 62-41. Although Dartmouth was able to close the margin slightly, at the final buzzer, Cornell had won 75-59.
The Big Green travels to New York tomorrow to take on the Columbia Lions at 7:00 pm.
