Dartmouth ended a seven game losing streak and extended Princeton's woes to seven consecutive games with a surprisingly easy 71-52 victory on Saturday at Leede Arena.
The Tigers, playing without the services of second-leading scorer and senior co-captain Kyle Koncz, who injured his hip in the second half of Princeton's loss to Harvard the previous evening, could not match the Big Green's energy level.
DeVon Mosley had a game-high 18 points to lead three Dartmouth players in double figures. Classmates Marcus Schroeder and Zach Finley each scored 10 for Princeton.

It happened again.
Harvard scored the final eight points of regulation to force an unexpected overtime and then ran off the first seven points of the extra frame to send a shocked Princeton team packing. The Crimson, who had seen a five point lead slip away in the final 30 seconds last Friday against Cornell, flipped a familiar script on the Tigers one week later with 2:30 to go, rallying for a 74-67 win.
It was the Tigers' 18th consecutive road defeat.

Fouls per-game.
Lots of emails in my inbox and comments on the site this weekend about the number of fouls Princeton has committed this season. Are the Tigers really averaging more whistles per-game than they have in other years?
Bellow are relevant numbers for the past 12 seasons, including the current campaign. If there are any requests for deeper crunching of this data, just let me know.
