Kareem Thomas lifts Dartmouth men’s basketball past Princeton
HANOVER, N.H. – When Dartmouth made its inaugural appearance in the Ivy League Tournament last March, Kareem Thomas was what in hockey parlance is called a healthy scratch, he never saw the court.
In fact, other than blowouts, Thomas never played more than two minutes in any game as a freshman as he struggled to adjust to the college game.
Fast forward a few months, and Monday night everyone at Leede Arena knew who was getting the ball in a tied game on the final possession, including the Princeton coaching staff: Kareem Thomas.

Quakeaways from Penn men’s basketball’s loss at Princeton
PRINCETON, N.J. — The faces on the court and the sideline were new, but in the end, the result for Penn was the same in its Ivy League opener: a crushing loss to Princeton.
Penn has only beaten its biggest rivals five times since Barack Obama was elected president in 2008. It’s a streak of futility that has now spanned four different head coaching regimes.
The Quakers (7-7, 0-1 Ivy), over the past few years, have developed a habit of finding new and unique ways to lose to Princeton (5-11, 1-0). They’ve squandered big leads, been blown out of the water and lost heartbreakers in the final seconds. Monday night had a little bit of everything.
Penn built a 14-point lead in the first half, saw it all wash away thanks to a stretch of atrocious defense and then mounted a furious rally to get one last shot to win the game. The Tigers could only exhale after point guard AJ Levine’s contested three at the buzzer hit back iron, which sealed a 78-76 win.
What did Quakers fans learn from another excruciating trip to Jadwin Gymnasium?
