Men’s Basketball Announces Team Captains

McRae III and Myrthil set to lead the 2023-24 Big Green
HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth head men's basketball coach David McLaughlin announced on Friday that senior Robert McRae III and junior Romeo Myrthil will serve as the Big Green's team captains in 2023-24. The two will look to lead an experienced group that features seven returning players who led the team in scoring at least once this past season.
"I am excited for Rob and Romeo and our staff is looking forward to working with them as leaders of our program," said McLaughlin. "I am confident their understanding of the importance of communication and relationship-building will help make our team the toughest and most together as we strive towards excellence, on and off the court."
"I'm really excited for our captains Rob and Romeo for this coming season," said Stephen Gonzalez, Corrigan Family Assistant Athletics Director for Leadership and Mental Performance. "Through our captains selection process, the data has shown consistent growth in their abilities to lead in a variety of different categories. To now see them in the positions that they're in, ready to build on the reputation that they've been building within the program is really exciting. I could not be more excited for the program and for them in their leadership journeys."
McRae emerged as a junior, especially in Ivy League play when he became a regular in the Big Green rotation. After appearing in two games as a sophomore, he played in 24 as a junior, starting once and averaging 2.5 points and 1.8 rebounds. His impact on the defensive end of the floor was also strong, along with his impact on the game in intangible ways. Three games into the season, McRae scored a career-high 18 points in just 15 minutes against MCLA, shooting 5-of-7 from the floor and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. He later made his first-career start at UMass and filled up the box score with nine points, seven rebounds, three steals and an assist. In Ivy League play, McRae scored nine points in a mid-February weekend — four at Cornell and five at Columbia.
Myrthil averaged 3.6 points and 2.0 rebounds as a junior in 25 games, starting eight times. Like McRae, Myrthil's impact came at both ends of the floor and in ways not always evident in the box score. Offensively, he reached double-figure points on three occasions, including a career-high 12 in a home win over Princeton and 11 both against CSU Bakersfield and at South Florida. For the season, Myrthil shot 42.7 percent from the floor (32-of-75) and 36.6 percent from 3-point range (15-of-41). After starting the first eight games of the season, Myrthil came off the bench in game nine and he responded with 27 points over the next three games (11 points against CSU Bakersfield followed by nine vs. Vermont and seven at CCSU).
"Rob and Romeo have a strong belief in our program, staff, each other and their fellow teammates," said McLaughlin. "This belief, and their unselfish nature, will provide a platform of ownership during their leadership journey. They understand the importance of being selfless, and how accountability is foundational for our team's individual and collective growth.
"They embrace the idea that leadership is both a privilege and a challenge," McLaughlin continued. "We will encourage them to have a growth mindset as they face these challenges while positively impacting our program and Dartmouth community."
Dartmouth's 2023-24 season is set to open on Monday, Nov. 6 at Duke, with the full schedule to be announced in the coming weeks. For everything you need to know about season tickets, please click here.
