Most of Dartmouth’s struggles come on the offensive end, where they rank 318th in adjusted offensive efficiency according to KenPom. That poor offense is one of the reasons the over/under total of 156.5 in the college basketball odds for this one is a bit of a head-scratcher.
Only twice in the last eight games have the Big Green combined with their opponent to surpass 156.5 points and one of those games went to overtime, which you can never count on.
Cornell Big Red Betting Trends
Mostly, the high over/under total is based upon the performance of Cornell, a team that runs one of the most efficient offenses in the country. They are top 10 in the nation in effective field goal percentage according to KenPom, and 26th in adjusted offensive efficiency.
No matter, they’ll likely need their opponents to contribute in the neighborhood of at least 70 points to topple the total in this one. Last time these two teams met, they fell well under 156.5 points. In fact, they haven’t combined to eclipse the 156 point mark in any of their last six head-to-head matchups.
Dartmouth vs Cornell Recent Results
| Date | Home-Away | Spread | Over/Under |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01/01/2023 | DART 63 – COR 74 | COR | Over |
| 02/18/2022 | DART 71 – COR 59 | DART | Under |
| 01/02/2022 | COR 79 – DART 71 | COR | Over |
| 02/28/2020 | COR 70 – DART 82 | DART | Over |
| 02/15/2020 | DART 75 – COR 53 | DART | Under |
Not only have the Big Red lost three in a row, but they’ve also struggled against the spread recently, whether it be as favorites or underdogs. They have failed to cover the spread in each of their last five games.
While Cornell owns an offense that can keep company with the top contenders in the odds to win March Madness, their defense will need to show some resolve if they want to get to the Big Dance.
Dartmouth vs Cornell Prediction
Laying 9.5-points is a lot to ask for a Cornell side that’s lost straight up in four of their last five contests. However, they did easily handle the Big Green in a double digit victory on New Year’s Day.
New Year, Same @CUBigRedHoops. Cornell wins its Ivy opener and improves to 11-3 overall with a hard-fought 74-63 win at Dartmouth on Sunday. The Big Red forced 20 turnovers and allowed just 27 Big Green points after halftime. #YellCornell

To make the big green, as in money, our best bet is to pick this game to go under. It’s a huge number at 156.5 and Dartmouth just don’t fill the basket often enough to make a case for that total.
Coming off a game where the Big Red had their worst offensive output in almost two months, scoring just 66, our prediction is that the total for this contest should come in comfortably under 156.5 points in the Dartmouth vs Cornell odds.
Pick: Under 156.5 Points (-105)
