End of Three-Game Homestand
• Dartmouth will attempt to finish off its three-game homestand with a winning record when it hosts the Loyola Greyhounds on Tuesday night.
• The Big Green defeated Division III Emerson College, 78-43, to start the stretch at Leede Arena before faltering against Albany last week, 91-73.
• The two leading scorers for Dartmouth are senior Miles Wright and sophomore Brendan Barry, each averaging 14.3 points a night.
• Wright produced 21 points against the Great Danes, his sixth career 20-point game, plus matched a personal best with three blocks and swiped the ball twice, becoming the 18th player in Big Green history with 100 career steals.
• Barry added 14 points thanks to four 3-pointers in seven tries, and currently is 11th in the nation in long-distance accuracy (8-for-14, .571)
• Freshman Chris Knight has jumped right into the action, providing 13.7 ppg while shooting 70.8 percent from the floor, ninth in the country.
• As a team, Dartmouth drained 27-of-49 shots (.551) against Albany, topping 50 percent for the second time in three games after hitting the mark just three times all last year.
• Turnovers proved to be a problem for the first time, however, with 20 miscues turning into 27 Great Dane points. The Big Green coughed the ball up just 17 times total in their first two games.
• Free throws have rarely been missed during the first three contests with Dartmouth converting 85.1 percent to lead all of Division I. But its opponents have been even better at 87.0 percent.
Series vs. Loyola
• This is just the third meeting between these two programs on the hardwood with the Greyhounds winning the first two encounters, 58-41 eight years ago at Leede Arena, then 73-59 on Nov. 21, 2010.
• Current assistant coach Jabari Trotter was active during that time, producing six points and four assists in the first game, then 12 points and two helpers the next year.
• By the time this game tips off, Dartmouth will be one of two schools that has played just three games with Akron being the other.
• Dartmouth is 95-139 all-time against current Patriot League schools, with this being the lone clash against that conference this season.
Scouting the Greyhounds
• Loyola opened the season with a 79-75 loss at Northwestern, then lost to Fairfield and Towson by double figures before picking up its first win against Goucher in a lopsided 97-45 affair.
• Last time out, the Greyhounds held the lead nearly the entire game until the final five minutes when UMass Lowell rallied for a 83-75 triumph.
• Cam Gregory, a 6-8 forward, leads three players scoring in double figures at 15.4 ppg while shooting 60.4 percent, plus hauls in a team-best 9.2 rpg.
• Guard Andre Walker is Loyola's premier long-range threat with 11 3-pointers while providing 14.2 ppg.
• Andrew Kostecka is an aggressive 6-4 guard, averaging 13.2 ppg while leading the team in steals (10) and free throws (20-of-30).
• Walker isn't the only threat from deep as the Greyhounds hit 37.4 percent from behind the arc and 8.0 3-pointers per game.
• Opponents have shot 42.0 percent from the floor and slightly outrebounded Loyola with no player on the roster being listed taller than 6-8.
• G.G. Smith (Georgia '99), son of coaching legend Tubby Smith, is in his fifth season leading the Greyhounds after serving six as an assistant there. He enters this game with an overall record of 48-80, though he is coming off his best season at Loyola with a 16-17 record and a trip to the CBI.

The Wright Stuff
Senior Miles Wright had his most prolific game shooting the basketball in 11 months when he hit 9-of-17 field goals and 3-of-7 from deep for 21 points against Albany on Nov. 22. But not only was it his sixth career 20-point game, he also matched a personal best with three blocked shots and recorded two steals, making him the 18th player in Dartmouth history with 100 career steals. His three triples also give him 111 in his career, tying him for ninth on the Big Green's all-time list with Len Bazelak '88.
Knight Court
Freshman Chris Knight has done a great job of filling the void inside for Dartmouth thus far, averaging 13.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in three games off the bench. In each of the last two games he has produced 16 points while shooting a combined 13-of-16 from the floor, and his 70.8 field goal percentage is ninth-best among all Division I players.
Barry-ing the Three
Against Albany on Nov. 22, sophomore Brendan Barry showed off his long-range stroke for the home crowd, drilling a career-high four 3-pointers in seven attempts. Through three games this season, Barry has knocked down 8-of-14 trifectas, a rate of 57.1 percent, which is the 11th-best accuracy in Division I. Only Princeton's Devin Cannady (21-of-34, .618) has been more on target from behind the arc among Ivy League players.
Free Throw Prowess
The way Dartmouth is shooting free throws, it should make more effort to get to the charity stripe. Through three games, the Big Green have converted 85.1 percent (40-of-47) of its foul shots, the best accuracy in the country. Both Guilien Smith (9-of-9) and Brendan Barry (5-of-5) have been perfect, while everyone else is hitting at least 75 percent (except one player who is 1-for-2).
Block Party
Last year, only nine teams blocked fewer shots per game than Dartmouth (1.8, 49 total). But so far, the Big Green are on pace to top that total in just 10 games with 16 swats through three contests. Against Albany, Dartmouth rejected seven shots — three by Miles Wright — its most since blocking seven against Yale on Feb. 6, 2015.
Turnover Trouble
Dartmouth did a good job of taking care of the basketball in its first two games, committing just a total of 17 turnovers. But in the 91-73 loss to Albany, the Big Green gave the ball away 20 times, their most miscues during the tenure of head coach David McLaughlin. Those turnovers were converted into 27 Great Dane points, which certainly contributed to the 18-point defeat.
