Dartmouth vs Albany College Basketball Preview
Dartmouth Basketball
The Big Green should be entering this matchup 3-0, but an overtime loss to Central Connecticut in their previous game kept them from remaining perfect.
Prior to that, Dartmouth took down Marist and non-Division I Framingham State.
The team entered the season without any returning starters but brought back six reserves. They also added Landon Williams, Acen Jimenez, Jake Pollack and Ernas Valauskas.
So far this season, the Big Green's standout player has been junior guard Cameron McNamee. Through three games, he leads the team in scoring at 16.0 points and adds 5.7 rebounds per game.
Hopefully, head coach Brett MacConnell can get the most out of this group, as many projections have the Big Green finishing last in the Ivy League.
Albany Basketball
The Great Danes enter Wednesday with a 2-1 record, beating non-Division I Rhode Island College and Manhattan. Their lone loss came against Merrimack.
Albany returns just one starter from a year ago, junior guard Zacharie Matulu, who has nearly averaged a double-double to start the season (9.0 PPG, 8.3 RPG).
Freshman Tyler Jones, out of Memphis, is looking like a star in the making, posting 17.3 points per game while shooting 31% from deep and 48.5% from the floor.
You can't forget about their leading scorer, though, Ollie Engen, who's averaging 18.0 points, 5.7 assists and 3.7 rebounds through the first three games. Engen played in Canada last season, averaging 19.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game for Queen's University.
This team is filled with plenty of fun players who could keep things interesting in the America East, where the Great Danes are projected to finish toward the bottom of the conference.
Dartmouth vs. Albany Pick, Betting Analysis
Dartmouth shot very poorly in its overtime loss against Central Connecticut (38.5% from the floor and 21.9% from deep). The Big Green knocked down 14-of-20 free throws but allowed the Blue Devils to shoot 50% from the floor and nearly 41% from deep.
They had no business keeping this game close. Even with 11 steals, the Big Green still committed more turnovers than the Blue Devils.
Although the pace of play won't be urgent whatsoever, if the Big Green aren't going to defend the perimeter or shoot above 40% from the floor, Albany will make them pay.
If Engen can continue his early-season dominance, averaging nearly 20 points per game while grabbing boards and dishing out assists, and Jones continues putting up nearly 20 points of his own, the Great Danes are sitting nice and pretty at home Wednesday afternoon.
Pick: Albany +2.5
