A lot of success, but it's been a long time

Dartmouth basketball? Sure enough! The Big Green have a pre-tournament national championship in 1906, and two NCAA tournament runner-up slots in the 1940s. In all they have been to the Elite Eight four times. There is a large group of schools who cannot make those claims.

However . . . the last time Dartmouth went to the NCAA tournament was in 1959. That's right - 59 years ago. Anyone who could really remember that event would likely be retired by now. In fact, Dartmouth has not had a winning record since going 14-12 in 1999.
