The senior guard spent his first three seasons at Dartmouth then transferred to Temple before the Ivy League cancelled last season due to the pandemic. Barry then returned to the Big Green this season when the Ivy League made a one-time exemption allowing graduate students to participate in athletics during the 2021-22 school year.

Barry had 13 points in the loss to Columbia.

Senior forward Aaryn Rai led Dartmouth with 20 points and three steals. It was Rai’s third 20-point game of the season but first since Dec. 8.

Rai has averages of 12.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He is fifth in the Ivy League in rebounding.

Junior forward Dame Adelekun continued his recent scoring surge with 12 points and six rebounds. Adelekun has reached double figures in points in five of his last six games after scoring a total of six points in his first six games this season.

After scoring 11 points combined in the previous three games, senior forward Garrison Wade matched that total Saturday and pulled down five rebounds.

Dartmouth committed seven turnovers and forced 15 while ending a seven-game road losing streak.

Yale Betting Outlook

Yale has been the winning side against the number in three of its last four games. However, the Bulldogs are just 7-11 ATS in 2021-22, including 3-4 at home.

Senior guard Azar Swain leads the Ivy League in scoring at 19.4 points. He has been in double digits in 18 of 19 games after spending last winter doing an internship in investments during the league’s shutdown.

Swain had 14 points and six rebounds in the win at Princeton.

Leading the Bulldogs was sophomore forward Matt Knowling, who made 8 of 9 field goal attempts on his way to tying a season high with 17 points. After not scoring in double figures in any of his first 13 games, Knowling has had 10 or more points in four of the last six games.

Senior guard Jalen Gabbidon contributed 14 points and three steals in his fifth double-digit scoring game in a row. He is second on the team in scoring with an 11.8 average.

Junior guard Matthue Cotton scored 12 points – knocking down 4 of 7 three-point attempts – and five rebounds. Freshman guard Bez Mbeng had his first career double with 10 points and 10 rebounds while setting season highs in both categories.

Dartmouth vs Yale Prediction

Yale has dominated the series in recent years with 10 straight wins, the latest being a 72-61 road triumph on March 6, 2020. Swain had 14 points for Yale and Rai finished with 18 points and six rebounds and three assists for Dartmouth.

Yale is also 6-2 in Connecticut this season, while Dartmouth is just 3-8 in true road games.

Coming off an impressive win at Princeton, look for Yale to continue its mastery of Dartmouth .

The Pick: Yale -8 (-110)
