Why Dartmouth can cover
Cornell is in its worst form of the season entering this matchup, as it has lost three straight and four of its last five. The Big Red were 2-point favorites in their 14-point loss to Brown on Saturday, failing to cover the spread for the fifth straight game. They have now covered the spread just one time in their last nine February games.
Dartmouth has won four of its last seven games to move to fifth place in the league standings, picking up an 83-76 win over Princeton last Saturday. The Big Green have covered the spread five times during that seven-game stretch, including the outright upset over the Tigers as 7.5-point underdogs. Dame Adelekun poured in 25 points and added five rebounds, while Dusan Neskovic scored 21 points on 7 of 11 shooting from the floor.
