Harvard lost a heartbreaker when they last took the court, but unfortunately for them the loss they were handed on on Saturday was a bit more commanding. Things couldn't have gone much worse for them as they lost 80-60 to the Bulldogs. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Harvard in their matchups with Yale: they've now lost six in a row.
Meanwhile, Dartmouth's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their ninth straight defeat. They suffered a bruising 89-67 defeat at the hands of the Bears. Dartmouth found out winning isn't easy when you make 11 fewer threes than your opponent.
The Crimson have traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 14-12 record this season. As for the Big Green, their loss was their 18th straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 5-21.
Harvard strolled past Dartmouth in their previous matchup back in February by a score of 77-59. The rematch might be a little tougher for Harvard since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
