HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth head men's basketball coach David McLaughlin announced the Big Green's 2023-24 schedule on Monday, which begins with a showdown at Duke on Monday, Nov. 6. Among the nonleague highlights are also games at Saint Louis of the Atlantic 10 and Vanderbilt of the SEC. The home opener will feature a strong mid-major opponent in UMass Lowell. Dartmouth's first four Division I opponents combined for a 95-40 record last season, all eclipsing 20 wins.

The Big Green will face six teams with 20+ wins last season (Duke, UMass Lowell, Saint Louis, Vermont, Vanderbilt and Princeton). Dartmouth's 10 nonleague opponents who played a Division I schedule last season averaged 17.8 wins, going 178-147.

The season opens with the first-ever meeting between Dartmouth and Duke on Monday, Nov. 6 at historic Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils have won five NCAA Championships and reached 17 Final Fours, most recently in 2022.

Four days later, the Big Green host UMass Lowell on Friday, Nov. 10 in their home opener. The Riverhawks finished last season 26-8.
