Sophomore guard, Ryan Cornish propelled the offense in overtime, scoring five points and assisting on one of the buckets in an extra period where the Ivy League squad scored 10 points and needed every single one to squeak out a victory. It was just their second win of the season and first W against a Division I opponent.
Dartmouth is expected to finish near the bottom of the Ivy League this season. If they want to finish any higher, they’ll have to do a better job on the defensive side of the ball. Against Division I teams this year, the Big Green have allowed an average of 80.8 points game.
Grambling State Tigers Betting Analysis
Scoring the ball is not how this Grambling State side wins game, but the defense is the reason they are the favorites against Dartmouth in the college basketball odds. According to the KenPom Rating, their adjusted offensive efficiency is 340th in the nation at 93.0. That ranks amongst the bottom 10% of teams in Division I.

On the other side of the ball though, they rank 225th in adjusted defensive efficiency which isn’t great, but keeps them competitive. They keep opponents to an effective field goal percentage of 47%, keeping company with the upper third of the nation in that category.
Placing an under bet on this squad just seems to be the pick this year. Check out some of these trends:
- The Under is 4-0 in the Tigers last four neutral site games
- The under is 8-3 in the Tigers last 11 Monday games
- They have held their opponents to 63 and 55 points in their first two tournament games
Dartmouth vs Grambling State Pick & Prediction
Whoever wins this game isn’t going to move up the charts in the odds to win March Madness. These are just two teams looking to make an impact in their respective conferences.
It’s expected to be a very tight game and in those cases, you don’t usually see a lot of buckets. Grambling has an edge in the odds so the bet here is that they will impose their defensive style of play and try and suffocate the Dartmouth offense.
Our prediction in the Dartmouth vs Grambling State odds is that these teams will combine to score under 139.5 points in their last game of the 210 San Antonio Shootout
Pick: Under 139.5 (-112)
