OUTLOOK
First round: Lost to Purdue, 70-66
Fresh off winning their 13th Ivy League title and posting their first 20-win season since 1989-90, the Big Green enter the Big Dance on a roll: In the 96-74 victory over Harvard in the regular-season finale March 7, senior guard Courtney Banghart scored a career-high 38 points on a school-record eight 3-pointers while breaking a 10-year-old Ivy record with 145 career 3-pointers. In the same game, freshman forward Katharine Hanks started off 8-for-8 from the field, and went on to hit 10 of 11 shots, tying a Dartmouth single-game record for field-goal percentage (.909). Still, in its fourth NCAA Tournament appearance, Dartmouth, a No. 14 seed a year ago which lost to Rutgers in the first round, also is seeking its first tourney win.
