Big Green Selected Seventh in Preseason Ivy League Poll

HANOVER, N.H. — The Ivy League Men's Basketball Preseason Poll was released on Tuesday, which saw the Dartmouth men's basketball team come in seventh. Yale was picked as the preseason favorite with 124 points (14 first-place votes) followed closely by Princeton with 110 points (two first-place votes).

Cornell came in third with 80 points followed by Brown (77), Penn (68), Harvard (66), Dartmouth (28) and Columbia (23).

The Big Green are coming off back-to-back sixth-place finishes in the Ivy League. Dartmouth has won six or more Ivy games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons. The Big Green lose second team All-Ivy honoree Dame Adelekun to graduation, but return plenty of talent in four of the team's top five scorers from 2022-23, including seven who led Dartmouth in scoring in at least one game last year.

Dartmouth opens its season on Nov. 6, traveling to Duke to face the No. 2 ranked Blue Devils. Opening tipoff is set for 9 p.m. on ACC Network. The Big Green open their home schedule four days later when they host UMass Lowell at 6 p.m. To purchase individual or season tickets, please click here.
