After a hard-fought road win at Ivy challenger Harvard last night, Cornell will turn around and face a Dartmouth team that knocked off Columbia on Friday evening. The Big Red pounded the Crimson on the backboards (31-20) and got big nights from seniors
Ryan Wittman (27 points, eight rebounds) and
Louis Dale (20 points, five assists) in the victory. Cornell made 12 3-pointers, helping the visitors overcome a decided 34-14 edge in free-throw attempts.
Cornell, which has won 20 of its last 22 contests, has knocked off the No. 2 and No. 3 teams in the conference standings on the road in the last two games, but that comes as little surprise. The Big Red is 13-3 away from home, the most road/neutral wins in the country so far this season.
Wittman paces the team in scoring (17.4 ppg.), while
Jeff Foote (12.5 ppg., 8.5 rpg., 1.9 bpg.) leads the way in both rebounding and blocks and leads the nation in field goal percentage (.612). Senior
Louis Dale is averaging 11.4 ppg. and an Ivy League-leading 4.9 apg. Head coach Steve Donahue enters Saturday's game with 139 coaching victories on the Big Red sidelines and needs one more to move into third on the school's all-time list
