PALO ALTO–After Stanford (3-3) dropped three straight they picked up a crucial win at home against the Arkansas Razorbacks 69-66 Fri Nov 27th to snap their loss streak last week and with the Darmouth Big Green (3-3) in town to do battle. The Cardinal hope to maximize that momentum from the Arkansas Razbacker win goin

The Big Green have done well in their own right as they beat Maine (2-6) in their last game by ten points. This one on Saturday night could turn out to be a close contest. Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins looks out for those mistakes that he wants to avoid, those same mistakes that Stanford made during their three game losing streak.

The Cardinal will rely on their three top scorers to create some offense of Roscoe Allen, Marcus Allen, and Michael Humphrey. The trio were lights out in that last game versus the Razorbacks and they very well could lead all scorers in that top three spot against Dartmouth on Saturday night at Maples Pavilion.
