CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The Dartmouth College men’s basketball team’s return to action after a 20-month pandemic hiatus didn’t go as hoped.
Boston College scored the first seven points of its nonleague season opener with the Big Green and 13 of the first 15 en route to a 73-57 defeat of the Big Green on Tuesday night at Conte Forum. A Makai Ashton-Langford 3-pointer with 8:45 left in the first half pushed the Eagles (1-0) into a double-digit lead they would stretch the rest of the night.
Dartmouth coach David McLaughlin spread the workload around, getting 13 players into the contest. Two of his veterans, Taurus Samuels and Brendan Barry, led the way with 10 points apiece. One of the more accurate 3-pointer shooters in the country duri ng his last season in Hanover in 2018-19, Barry struggled to a 2-for-11 line from beyond the arc against the BC defense. The Big Green shot 37.5% from the floor (21-56) on the night.
Boston College, which shot 49% from the field (25-for-51) as a team, put four players in double figures. DeMarr Langford had a team-high 16 points for the Eagles, who got 14 from Quinten Post, 12 from Kanye Jones and 10 from Ashton-Langford.
Dartmouth (0-1) hits the road again for a Saturday matinee with Georgetown at Capital One Arena in Washington.
