CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Harvard continues its three-game road trip on Monday when it pays Dartmouth a visit for a Martin Luther King Day tilt. The Ivy League contest is set for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

What to Know

- The Crimson opened its season-long road trip on Saturday with a 91-82 win at Columbia. Following the Dartmouth contest, Harvard will conclude its road stretch by traveling to the state of New York for the fifth time this season to face Cornell on Jan. 22.

- The win moved Harvard to 16-3 in the game following its last 19 defeats. This season alone, the Crimson is 4-1 in responding to losses.

- Playing just its second game since Dec. 21, Harvard combined good shooting with ball security in defeating the Lions. The Crimson shot 50.7 percent for the game, including 54.8 percent in the second half, while committing just seven turnovers for the second straight outing. Harvard also converted 16 Columbia turnovers into 23 points.

- Four Crimson players scored in double figures at Columbia with Noah Kirkwood leading the way. The senior finished with a career-high-tying 28 points on a season-high-matching 10 field goals (10-20 FG). Kirkwood also had a team-high six rebounds (tied with Denham Wojcik) and a game-high-tying five assists.

- Kirkwood's fellow Canadian, Luka Sakota, also reached double figures in scoring with 18 points on the strength of a career-high-tying four treys (4-5 3FG) vs. the Lions. His quartet of threes matched his total from his previous four outings when he connected on 4-of-14.

- Senior co-captain Kale Catchings provided an early spark in the second half at Columbia as he scored Harvard's first eight points in a matter of 71 seconds. His two triples and layup boosted the Crimson's lead to 11 points, an advantage it held for a majority of the game. Catchings finished with 14 points on a career-high six field goals (6-9 FG). In his last five games, Catchings is shooting 64.7 percent (22-34 FG) from the floor and made 16-of-18 (.889) from two-point range.

- Louis Lesmond was the fourth Harvard player to reach double digits in scoring at Columbia. Starting for the third time this season, the first-year had 10 points, three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes. He has scored at least 10 points in back-to-back games for the first time this season after opening this current stretch with 13 vs. Brown.

- Harvard received production throughout the lineup outside of its four double-digit scorers against the Lions. Eight of nine Crimson players found the scoring column and the ninth, Tyler Simon, had one assist against zero turnovers in four minutes. And although the Harvard bench was outscored by Columbia, 23-15, the Crimson's reserves were equal in rebounding (10-10) and enjoyed advantages in assists (6-2), steals (3-1) and turnovers (1-6).

- Making his first career start was Denham Wojcik. The first-year guard matched his career high with six points (career-high three field goals) at Columbia, while pulling down a personal-record six rebounds in 26 minutes.

- Evan Nelson, a first-year guard, made his Division I debut against Columbia and announced his arrival by making his first two field goals -- both three-pointers. He registered nine points, four rebounds, two assists, zero turnovers and one blocked shot in 23 minutes off the bench.

- Harvard enters the Dartmouth game with only one day of preparation, something that has been a familiar theme for the Crimson in '21-22. This will mark the fifth time Harvard has played under these circumstances, with the Crimson going 3-1 in the previous occasions. The Crimson has three more sets of games this season where it will have zero or one day of prep, with the next one slated for Feb. 4 (at Brown) and Feb. 5 (at Yale).
